saneness
Clear thinking state
Saneness is the quality of being sane—having a sound, rational mind.
The word exists but rarely appears; sanity dominates in almost every context.
You might encounter saneness in older texts or when a writer wants to emphasize the quality as an attribute: Her saneness was never in question.
