Why this word is great

BUDDHAHOOD — [Noun] The perfected state of being a buddha, characterized by complete enlightenment, liberation from rebirth, and the attainment of nirvana. From Buddha (a title meaning 'awakened one' or 'enlightened one') + -hood (a suffix forming nouns denoting state or condition). Unlike “bodhisattva,” which denotes compassionate deferral of final release, or “enlightenment,” which names the illuminating journey, buddhahood is the silent terminus—the unassailable condition of arrival. It is the last ripple smoothing into a still pond, the footprint left in stone after the pilgrim has walked on, and the profound quiet of a consciousness perfectly transparent to itself—the unimaginable condition of being utterly, and only, awake.

noun

The state of being a buddha, enlightenment or nirvana.“But yet Gautama did all this, and this was the means he adopted to attain Buddahood.”
