airiness
Floating, weightless feeling
Airiness is the quality of being light, open, or spacious.
A room with high ceilings and large windows has airiness.
The word extends to manner and style—an airiness in someone's tone suggests lightness or unconcern, sometimes dismissiveness: She answered with an airiness that bordered on contempt.
Writing or music with airiness feels delicate and unforced.
