sensibleness
Having good sense
Sensibleness is the quality of being sensible—showing good judgment and practical wisdom.
The word emphasizes levelheadedness and reasonableness: Her sensibleness in a crisis kept everyone calm.
It's a somewhat formal alternative to the more common "good sense" or "practicality."
