beauteousness

Quality of attractiveness

Beauteousness is the quality of being beauteous—a literary or poetic word for beauty.

The term is rare and ornate, appearing mainly in older texts or deliberately elevated prose: The beauteousness of the landscape moved him to tears.

In modern usage, *beauty* serves nearly all the same purposes without the archaic flavor.
