homeliness

/hˈoʊmlinəs/ noun

The quality associated with home; domesticity.

Word Origin From Old English hām 'home, dwelling' — so homeliness originally meant 'the quality of being like home,' cozy and familiar. Over time, it shifted to mean 'plain, unattractive,' perhaps from the idea of being unpretentious like a simple home. The same root gives us home, homely, homesick, and hamlet (a little home).
