truthfulness

Etymology

truthful + -ness

noun

  1. The quality of being truthful
    Many hard-working students, alive to the deficiencies of this kind of romance-writing, have grown to distrust not only all historical writing that is romantic, but all historical writing that is vivid. They feel that complete truthfulness must never be sacrificed to color. 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, History as Literature
