Definitions and meanings of "Beautiful"

What do we mean by beautiful?

Having qualities that delight or appeal to the senses and often the mind. adjective

Excellent; wonderful. adjective

Used to express approval or delight. interjection

Full of beauty; possessing qualities that delight the senses, especially the eye or the ear, or awaken admiration or approval in the mind. See beauty, 1.

Synonyms Beautiful, Beauteous, Handsome, Pretty, Fair, Lovely, Comely, charming, all apply to that which is highly pleasing, especially to the eye. Beautiful, the most general of these words, is also often the noblest and most spiritual, expressing that which gives the highest satisfaction to eye, ear, mind, or soul. Beauteous is chiefly poetic, and covers the less spiritual part of beautiful. Handsome is founded upon the notion of proportion, symmetry, as the result of cultivation or work; a handsome figure is strictly one that has been developed by attention to physical laws into the right proportions. It is less spiritual than beautiful; a handsome face is not necessarily a beautiful face. Handsome applies to larger or more important things than pretty: as, a handsome house; a pretty cottage. It is opposed to homely. Pretty applies to that which has symmetry and delicacy, a diminutive beauty, without the higher qualities of gracefulness, dignity, feeling, purpose, etc. A thing not small of its kind may be called pretty if it is of little dignity or consequence: as, a pretty dress or shade of color; but pretty is not used of men or their belongings, except in contempt. Fair starts from the notion of a brightness that catches the eye; it notes that sort of beauty which delights the eye by complexion and feature; in this sense it is now less common in prose. Lovely is a strong word for that which is immediately pleasing to the eye; it applies primarily to that which excites admiration and love. Comely applies rather to the human figure, chiefly in its proportions; it is used less commonly than handsome to express the result of care or training. See elegant.

It's not hot or fine...it's more than pretty...you dont have to try to "be" it..people just know you are..its what's on the inside Urban Dictionary

Beauty is something that few understand and fewer possess. You can do more than see it, it is felt within you. It is the expression of your soul in the light. When you see something you find truly beautiful it is like the feeling of being in love; inexplicable, strong, and pure. Urban Dictionary

A person that's kind and caring, someone with good looks, a nice personality, and someone that isn't like the others. When everyone is going right, they're the only person that's going left. Urban Dictionary

Somebody that catches your breath, makes your heart race when you're around them and you cherish every moment you get to spend with them. Urban Dictionary

Beautiful is a woman who has a distinctive personality, one who can laugh at anything, including themselves, who is especially kind and caring to others. She is a woman who above all else knows the value of having fun, and not taking life too seriously. She is a woman that you can trust and count on to brighten your day. She is a woman who can inexplicably make you feel really good just by being around her, and yet brings such great sadness when she is gone. She is a woman who I will never really get to know. Urban Dictionary

Anyone can be beautiful. It's not about the clothing, the hair, the make-up. It's about the way your smile radiates warmth, or dancing when you're excited, no matter who's watching. How to be beautiful? There are no guidelines, and anyone who tells you otherwise is telling you how to be pretty. Pretty and beautiful are not synonyms. Pretty is a but an adjective, whereas beautiful is so much more. Beautiful is a sunset, or the rain, or being in love. Beautiful is singing in the shower, running at night, and laughing out-loud. Beautiful is the way a flower smells, or the feel of their skin. I'm sorry if you disagree, but this is the best I could describe such a, well, beautiful word. Urban Dictionary

What you see when you look in the mirror Urban Dictionary

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What's beautiful to one person may not be beautiful to another, and that's okay. YOU are the one who can determine whether something/someone is beautiful or not. There are no set guidelines (actually, society has created some, but there really shouldn't be). Can be inner or outer beauty. Urban Dictionary

Your smile makes you pretty Your body makes you sexy Only your mind makes you beautiful Urban Dictionary

You. Urban Dictionary
