Etymology
Stylishness comes from style, a word that originally meant a person's 'way' of writing and even comes from a Latin word for a small writing tool ('stylus'); the ending -ish means 'like' and -ness turns a word into 'a state'. So stylishness is the 'state' of having a fashionable style, which is why it means elegance or attractiveness.
