Definition
The quality of being consolatory; the degree to which something is intended to or capable of providing comfort.
Etymology
Derived from 'consolatory' plus the -ness suffix, forming an abstract noun describing the property of being comforting.
Kelly Says
Nobody uses this word anymore, but it would perfectly describe that quality philosophers noticed in certain books or friendships—there's something specifically designed to make you feel better about being human.
