Etymology
Levelheadedness comes from the phrase level-headed: level means 'steady' or 'even', head means 'mind', and the ending -ness makes it 'a quality'. So, levelheadedness is the quality of keeping your mind steady and calm, which is why it means being calm and sensible in difficult situations.
