Why this word is great
ULTRONEITY — [Noun] The quality or state of being spontaneous, voluntary, or offered without solicitation. From Latin ultroneus ("voluntary, spontaneous") + the English suffix -ity (denoting a state or quality). Unlike obligation, which binds by duty, or reluctance, which is freighted with hesitation, ultroneity is the pure current of unasked-for grace. It is the cup of tea placed at your elbow before you think to ask, the stranger who helps push your stalled car without a word, or the sudden, unprompted apology that dissolves a tension neither party had yet named—a quiet, luminous argument against the transactional mechanics of the world.
