English term or phrase: tenderness
as translation of Zaertlichkeit
Bigg
やさしさ
Explanation:
Again, if you are talking about Freudian psychology, it is most common to translate this as やさしさ. In the Laplanche-Pontalis dico they also list 情愛の深さ.

In any case, it would help to have a little bit more specified context with the question.

saw your note - as opposed to Sinnlichkeit, as in Freud¥'s ¥'Ueber die allgemeinste Erniedrigung des Liebeslebens¥'? in that case the term is やさしさ (the translation of the thesis is available as 「愛情生活の最も一般的な蔑視について」in Japanese).
