niceness noun
Middle English, in the sense ‘foolish’, via Old French nice simple, silly, from Latin nescius ignorant, from nescire not to know, from ne- not + scire to know. Nice has undergone numerous shifts of meaning. Before the 16th cent. most of its meanings were highly derogatory: ‘foolish’, ‘strange’, ‘lazy’, and ‘effeminate’ among them. Even the senses ‘fastidious’, ‘precise’, and ‘delicate’, which probably gave rise to the sense ‘pleasant’, were originally derogatory. The use of nice as a general term of approval became fashionable in the late 18th cent
