harmoniousness

/hɑɹˈmoʊniəsnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being harmonious.

Word Origin Harmony comes from Greek harmonia, meaning 'joint, agreement' — so harmoniousness is the quality of being well-jointed, fitting together perfectly. The same root gives us harmonize (to make agree), harmonic (pertaining to harmony), and disharmony (bad joint). The -ous and -ness suffixes make it a noun. The PIE root *arə- meant 'to fit together.' So harmoniousness is literally 'jointed-ness.'
