ingeniousness

/ˌɪnˈdʒinjəsnəs/ noun

The condition of being ingenious.

Word Origin From Latin ingenium 'inborn quality, natural talent' — literally 'something produced within' (in- + gignere). Ingenious originally meant having a natural cleverness. The root gen- 'to beget, produce' also gives us generate, engine (a clever device), and genetic. The PIE root *ǵenh₁- 'to give birth' is the source of words like kin, kind, and nation.
