bigheartedness
Warm, giving nature
Bigheartedness is generosity of spirit—a readiness to give, forgive, and care for others.
It suggests warmth and openness rather than calculation: Her bigheartedness made everyone feel welcome.
The quality implies emotional expansiveness, not just material generosity.
