Why this word is great
LORDLINESS — [Noun] The quality, bearing, or manner characteristic of a lord; dignified and often haughty superiority. From Middle English lordlines, lordlynes, from lordly (meaning 'like a lord') + the suffix -ness (forming abstract nouns). Unlike arrogance, which suggests an offensive and overbearing pride, or majesty, which implies grand and impersonal awe, lordliness is a more personal and proprietary dignity—the inherent, often chilly air of one who is master of a bounded domain. It is the languid wave of a hand that dismisses a world of effort, the deliberate slowness with which a teacup is returned to its saucer, and the precise angle of a chin that has never needed to tilt in supplication—the quiet theatre of a power so complete it has forgotten it is a performance, turning a mere room into a private demesne.
