thankfulness 是一个名词，意为"感激之情，感恩的心态"。指对所拥有的事物或他人的善意怀有深切的感激和珍惜。
/ˈθæŋkfəlnəs/
She felt a deep thankfulness for her family's support during the difficult time.
在那段艰难的日子里，她对家人的支持感到由衷的感激。
His thankfulness was not merely expressed in words but in the quiet, steady way he devoted himself to helping others who had once helped him.
他的感恩之心不仅仅停留在言语上，更体现在他默默而坚定地帮助那些曾经帮助过他的人。
thankfulness 由形容词 thankful（感激的）加上名词后缀 -ness 构成。thankful 源自古英语 þancful，其中 þanc 意为"感谢、思想"，与古日耳曼语系中的"思考"概念同源。这揭示了一个深层的语言联系：感恩本质上是一种对所获善意的深思与觉察。后缀 -ness 将形容词转化为表示状态或性质的抽象名词。
