simple-heartedness
Artless, trusting nature
Simple-heartedness is the quality of being sincere, guileless, and uncomplicated in one's feelings and intentions.
A simple-hearted person lacks cunning or duplicity—they mean what they say and feel what they show.
The term carries warmth rather than condescension: Her simple-heartedness made people trust her immediately.
