由 gentle（温柔的）加名词后缀 -ness 构成，记住 gentle 的温柔，加上 ness 就是温柔、温和的品质。
语域：neutral 常见场景：书面表达、文学作品、性格描述 gentleness 是 gentle 的名词形式，多用于书面或较正式的表达；日常口语中常用 gentle 或 kindness 来替代。整体语气中性偏书面，指“温和、温柔”时较常见，指“温顺”时多用于人或动物。
以上单词都以 -ness 结尾，词尾读作不重读的 /nəs/（或 /nɪs/）。但它们都不与 gentleness 押韵，因为重读音节及之后的音不同：gentleness 的重读元音是 /ɛ/，后面接 /ntl.../；而 kindness 是 /aɪ/，happiness 是 /æ/，illness 是 /ɪ/，goodness 是 /ʊ/，business 和 witness 也是 /ɪ/。注意 business 和 witness 虽也以 -ness 结尾，但读音容易按拼写想当然：business 读 /ˈbɪznəs/，witness 读 /ˈwɪtnəs/。
