daffiness
Silly, absurd quality
Daffiness is the quality of being daffy—silly, scatterbrained, or charmingly absurd.
The word suggests lighthearted foolishness rather than serious stupidity: Her daffiness made everyone laugh.
It often carries affection, describing someone whose quirky behavior is endearing rather than annoying.
