Etymology
The word 'honeyedness' originates from the Middle English term 'honyednesse', which came from the Old English word 'hunig' meaning 'honey'. The suffix '-ness' was added to indicate the quality or state of being honeyed. Over time, the word evolved to refer not just to the taste of honey, but also to sweetness in general, both literal and figurative.
