graciousness
Elegant kind manner
Graciousness is warmth, courtesy, and generosity of spirit in dealing with others.
A gracious host makes guests feel welcome and at ease.
The quality suggests elegance without stiffness—kindness that comes naturally rather than from obligation: She accepted the criticism with graciousness.
Graciousness can also describe physical charm or divine favor: the graciousness of the old estate, God's graciousness toward sinners.
