What is the abstract noun for please?

There isn't a single perfect abstract noun for "please". "Please" is an interjection expressing politeness or a request, which is not a concrete thing that can be made into a noun.

However, depending on the context, you might consider these options:

* Courtesy: This refers to polite behaviour, which "please" often signifies.

* Politeness: This is a broader term encompassing a range of polite actions and attitudes.

* Request: This directly refers to the act of asking for something, which "please" often accompanies.

* Favor: This can be used when "please" is used to ask for something specific or to express a desire for someone to do something for you.

Ultimately, the best "abstract noun" for "please" will depend on the specific context and the desired meaning.
