Current Events > CE Word of the day - genuine

(+) Yeah! (+)

After scanning CE for interesting words for over two years I have been impressed with the level of intelligence of many of the people that post regularly. Sometimes an interesting word stands out, and other times it takes a while to find something that can be considered interesting. Considering the source it is not unusual to have a word that was used as a word of the day previously. At times the word of the day is found in an article that is quoted or other quoted source. If you see an interesting word being used on CE please mention me in the topic.

If you want to post in this topic, try to use the word of the day in a sentence.

Today's word is genuine.
As defined by Merriam-Webster:

Is genuineness the noun form of genuine?

Many people appear to look up the adjective genuine in this dictionary in an attempt to discover the noun form of the word. The closest the English language comes is the rather unwieldy genuineness, meaning the quality or state of being genuine. Some possible alternatives to genuineness include sincerity, honesty, integrity, and truthfulness.
