Etymology
Gratefulness comes from grateful plus the ending -ness, and grateful comes from the Latin word gratus meaning 'pleasing' or 'thankful', the same root as grace. So, gratefulness is the feeling of being pleased and full of 'thanks', which explains why it means showing or feeling thanks and appreciation.
