wondrousness

/ˈwəndɹəsnəs/ noun

The quality of being wondrous.

Word Origin Built on wonder, from Proto-Germanic 'wundran' meaning a miracle or marvel. The suffix -ous makes it 'full of wonder,' and -ness turns that into a noun—so wondrousness is the state of being full of wonder. It's a great example of how English stacks suffixes to create abstract nouns from simple roots.
