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"?
 
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?
 
Could you write a sentence where you'd want to use this word and we can suggest alternatives?

(Daily speech, not daily speakings.)

This car I bought is better than the previous one. It's betterness made be buy it. I love it.
 
I have to admit that sounds rather good.
 
You wrote It's betterness instead of Its betterness.

It's is the contraction of it is.
