nuttiness

Quality of craziness

Nuttiness is the quality of being nutty—either the flavor of nuts or the quality of being crazy or eccentric.

A pastry might have a pleasant nuttiness from almonds, while a conspiracy theory might have a certain nuttiness to it: The nuttiness of his ideas only became apparent later.

The word often carries affection rather than harsh judgment.
