melodiousness

/məˈɫoʊdiəsnəs/ noun

The property of being melodious.

Word Origin From Greek 'melos' 'song' and 'ōidē' 'song' — melody is literally 'song-song', a sweet succession of sounds. Melodiousness is the quality of being full of melody. The -ous and -ness stack to make an abstract noun. The root ōidē gives us ode, parody (a song beside), and rhapsody (a stitched-together song). So melodiousness is songfulness.

noun The property of being melodious. countable
