Why this word is great

GOODLIHEAD — [Noun] The quality of being goodly, an indivisible alloy of virtuous character and pleasing appearance. From Middle English goodlihede, goodelyhede, equivalent to goodly (meaning 'excellent, virtuous, or handsome') + the suffix -head (denoting a state, condition, or character). Unlike "goodliness," which leans toward the moral, or "beauty," which dwells on the visual, goodlihead marries the inner to the outer. It is the steady, kind eyes in a well-proportioned face, the graceful strength of a hand that offers help, and the silent dignity of a stone manor that has sheltered generations honourably—a harmony so complete it suggests a world where to look well is to be well.
