Glamorous describes a person, place, or life that seems attractive, , and tied to wealth or fame — film premieres, fashion, big hotels, a job that looks like a dream from the outside. A glamorous woman in a magazine is stylish and striking; a glamorous career is the kind people envy at parties. The word carries a little theatre. Though actually, we often use it with a small doubt: it looks glamorous, but the hours are terrible. That gap between the shine and the fact is part of how adults use it. It is common in speech and writing: more grown-up than , less heavy than .
From the word’s history
glamor + -ous.
就是 glamor 加上 -ous。
組成From glamor + -ous (“full of”). Glamor is the American form of glamour; the adjective is spelled glamorous in both American and British English (no extra u).
