tastefulness

/ˈteɪstfəɫnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being tasteful.

Word Origin Tastefulness comes from taste, which originally meant 'to touch, feel' — from Latin taxare 'to assess' and tangere 'to touch'. The idea is that tasting is a kind of touching with the tongue. The same root gives us tangible, tactile, and contact. Tasteful means having good taste, and tastefulness is the noun for that quality of refined touch.
