betterness

Hello,
Does "betterness" as a word exist or not?
I don't have context. For example, when "anger" is the noun of "angry" then what's the noun of "better"?
Is it "betterness"?

Thanks for answering but is it used in daily speakings? To me it looks odd. I have three dictionaries in my PC.
Cambridge, Oxford, Longman, When I looked for it in them and saw there was no result, I thought it's no longer used among native English speakers.

I've never heard it used and I've never used it.

And the results of your search show that many dictionaries don't include it- it's in 8, while over 30 have the word better.

Everyone, thanks for answering. If "betterness" is not used, then is there any alternative for that being used among you native English speakers?

You missed what? Have I made a typo in post #9?

You made a mistake, maybe it was a typo.

You wrote It's betterness instead of Its betterness.

It's is the contraction of it is.
