It varies. Often, you can add the suffix -ness which creates a noun. Other times, if the adjective ends in -ic, you would use the suffix -ism or -asm, or a noun ending in -ty.

Examples:

quick - quickness

correct - correctness

enthusiastic - enthusiasm

modernistic - modernism

eccentric - eccentricity

royal - royalty
