The quality or state of being girlish; the possession of characteristics considered typical of girls.
From girlish + -ness (suffix forming abstract nouns from adjectives), from girl + -ish. The -ness suffix is one of the most productive in English.
The word 'girliness' is fascinating because it's both descriptive and socially loaded—the same quality might be celebrated as 'feminine charm' or criticized as 'girliness' depending on who's judging.
Abstract noun encoding culturally constructed femininity as trait/essence. Loaded with stereotypes about appearance, behavior, and emotion; rarely applied neutrally outside commercial/beauty marketing.
Name specific traits ('expressiveness', 'style preference') rather than bundling into gendered essentialism. Avoid implying femininity is opposite of capability.
