grandness

/ˈɡɹændnəs/ noun

The state of being grand.

Word Origin Grandness is grand + -ness. Grand from Latin grandis 'great, large,' and -ness the state suffix. So it's the quality of being grand. The same root gives us grandiose (full of grandeur), aggrandize (to make grander), and all the grand- relatives like grandfather. Grandness is a simpler, less pretentious word than grandiosity.
