View Full Version : Prettiest Word
What's the prettiest word, to you?
I'm a fan of ember and azure, and willow and autumn. I like words that are colors, like auburn.

What do you mean by pretty?
The words that ring clear in your mind, of course!
Um, okay! I like finesse, diligence, relentless, and finish. :D

Lots of names come to mind...As for words, probably something like euphoric, flow, cascade.

Minute is nice. Pick minute.

Urchin, cleave, cradle, busted, dutchess, sensational. Oh, and fabulous of course.
Does it matter if they're English? I really like the way superlatives sound in Latin ~ laetissima, pulcherrima, novissimus~

Bourgeoise. It's a sociological term for the ruling class.

Hmmm... 'sentimental' and 'amethyst' come to mind. I'll think of more later.

Cellar door (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_door).
Duh.
Why has no one said Chlamydia yet? It's a very pretty word ignoring the meaning.
Also, I'm a big fan of "jus d'orange" in French.

i'm writing this in both the 'Prettiest Word' and 'Ugliest Word' threads, because it applies to both :D
often, our perception of a word is based entirely off its meaning (eg. 'Weekend' :p), and although there's no real problem with that, i don't think that's what the topic is asking (even though i'm pretty sure i did it too :tongue:)

Rye, your last name is the prettiest word ever. EVER EVER EVER!

Oh, also, focusing on the alphabet, my favourite word to write is "Life" in cursive. My two favourite letters ("L" and "f") are well spaced and evenly balanced to me in this word.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Lucifer is a beautiful name. Seriously, "bringer of light", look it up!

Seriously, lots of French loan words are "pretty" to me. Like cinematheque, baguette and ménage à trois. :p
