peacefulness
State of tranquility
Peacefulness is the quality of being peaceful—calm, quiet, undisturbed.
It describes both external conditions and internal states: the peacefulness of the countryside, a sense of peacefulness washed over her.
The word suggests an absence of conflict, noise, or agitation, often with positive connotations of serenity or contentment.
