delightfulness
Quality of enchanting
Delightfulness is the quality of being highly pleasing or charming.
The word describes what makes something give pleasure: the delightfulness of a spring morning, the sheer delightfulness of her laugh.
It's somewhat formal and literary—in casual speech, people more often say something *is* delightful than comment on its delightfulness.
