jovialness

/ˈdʒoʊviəɫnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being jovial; joviality.

Word Origin Jovialness comes from jovial, which literally means 'of Jupiter' — the Roman king of gods. Astrologers believed people born under Jupiter's influence were jolly and good-humored. So jovialness is the quality of being Jupiter-like: expansive and cheerful. The same root gives us Jove and Thursday (Thor's day, but Jupiter's day in Latin languages).
