lightsomeness
Carefree, airy spirit
Lightsomeness is the quality of being lightsome—cheerful, buoyant, carefree.
The word carries a sense of brightness and ease, suggesting spirits unburdened by worry: There was a lightsomeness about her that morning.
It can also describe physical grace or nimbleness.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, more likely encountered in Victorian novels than contemporary speech.
