beautifulness

Quality of attractiveness

Beautifulness is the quality or state of being beautiful.

The word exists but rarely appears—beauty serves the same purpose more gracefully.

When beautifulness does occur, it often sounds awkward or childlike: The beautifulness of the sunset took my breath away.

Most writers choose beauty instead.
