okayness
Being just fine
Okayness is the state of being okay—acceptable, satisfactory, or emotionally stable without being exceptional.
The word often appears in contexts of emotional resilience or recovery: I'm working my way back to okayness.
It can also describe baseline adequacy: The okayness of the food didn't justify the price.
