wondrousness
State of amazement
Wondrousness is the quality of inspiring wonder or awe.
The word describes whatever makes something marvelous or astonishing: the wondrousness of a starry night, the sheer wondrousness of being alive.
It's a somewhat literary alternative to wonder when you need a noun for the quality itself rather than the feeling it produces.
