I think "betterness" is not a word and for good reason.

I think there are good reasons why "betterness" is a word we can use. It's 
like "good" is a word we usually just use to say something nice about a 
thing, but in philosophy its more like THE Good. Then it becomes a noun. The 
second one is a little better, we're looking for a word that that doesn't 
make goodness itself just sit there like a mountain. The word "better" 
itslef is too dependent on context, too relational. But "betterness" is like 
the Good, but it implies a sense of movement. "Betterness" describes a 
general direction that can be applied to any context and any relation. It's 
like the universal motive.
