superbness

State of magnificence

Superbness is the quality of being superb—excellent, magnificent, or of the highest order.

The word is grammatically available but rarely used; *superb* typically stands alone as an adjective, and when a noun is needed, speakers usually reach for *excellence* or *magnificence* instead.
