peppiness

/ˈpɛpinəs/ noun

The quality of being peppy.

Word Origin Peppiness comes from 'pep', which is short for pepper — the spice that gives a sharp, lively kick. So when someone's full of pep, they're literally 'peppery', zesty and energetic. The same root gives us 'pepper', 'peppery', and even 'pep talk' (a speech meant to spice up your motivation). The morpheme breakdown pep+pi+ness shows the adjective 'peppy' plus the noun suffix -ness.
