喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English bewteful; beauty + -ful, largely displacing fair.

由 beauty 加上 -ful 組成，漸漸取代了原本常用的 fair。

Wiktionary

You can picture something so lovely to look at that it makes you stop and stare. That moment of being struck by how good something is — first through the eyes, then more widely — is what the word carries.

可以想成一個畫面：某個東西好看到讓你忍不住停下腳步、多看兩眼。那種「被它的美好打動」的瞬間——先是眼睛看到的，後來擴大到其他感受——就是這個字帶著的核心感覺。
