The word "likablenesses" is spelled with three syllables, /ˈlaɪkəblnəsɪz/. The first syllable is "like" /laɪk/ and the second and third syllables form the suffix "-able-nesses" /əblnəsɪz/. This suffix adds the meaning of "ability to be liked" to the base adjective "likeable". Although the spelling may seem complicated, it follows a consistent pattern of adding the suffix "-able" and the plural "-nesses" to form a noun.
The word likablenesses is derived from the root word likable with the addition of the suffix -nesses.
The term likable was formed by adding the suffix -able to the word like, which means to find something agreeable or enjoyable. -able is used to create an adjective indicating the possibility or capability of something. In the case of likable, it refers to something or someone that is capable of being liked or is pleasant.
The suffix -ness is commonly added to adjectives to form nouns indicating a state, quality, or characteristic of the original adjective. In this case, -ness is added to likable to create the noun likableness, which refers to the quality or state of being likable.
The plural form of likableness is created by adding the plural suffix -es, resulting in likablenesses.
