painlessness

/ˈpeɪnɫəsnəs/ noun

The quality of being painless.

Word Origin Painlessness is the state of being without pain, from 'pain' (Latin 'poena', punishment) and '-less' + '-ness'. So it's the quality of being free from punishment-suffering. The root 'poena' also gives us 'penalty' and 'subpoena' (under penalty).
