bonniness
Quality of comeliness
Bonniness is the quality of being bonny—attractive, healthy-looking, or cheerful.
The word is mostly Scottish and Northern English: The bonniness of the Highland children struck every visitor.
It suggests a wholesome, pleasing appearance rather than glamorous beauty.
