jauntiness
Carefree, bouncy demeanor
Jauntiness is a quality of cheerful self-confidence and easy style.
Someone with jauntiness moves through the world with a light step and lively manner: He adjusted his cap with characteristic jauntiness.
The word suggests buoyancy rather than arrogance—a spring in one's step, not swagger.
