Etymology of PICTURESQUENESS

The word "picturesqueness" is derived from the adjective "picturesque", which originated in the late 18th century. "Picturesque" comes from the French word "pittoresque", which itself was derived from the Italian term "pittoresco". The Italian word "pittoresco" refers to something that is similar to a picture or painting, derived from the noun "pittura", meaning "painting".
