safeness

State of being protected

Safeness is the quality or state of being safe—freedom from danger, harm, or risk.

The word exists but rarely appears; English speakers almost always prefer safety instead: the safety of the building rather than the safeness of the building.

Safeness occasionally surfaces when describing how safe something feels rather than whether it technically is: the safeness of her childhood home.
