Before entering fully into the the term beautiful, it is necessary to proceed to discover its etymological origin. In this case, we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin. Specifically, it comes from “bellus” which can be translated as “beautiful”.
According to DigoPaul, the term is used to describe what, due to its appearance, its style or its shape, is pleasant to the ear, the eye or the spirit.
For example: “This landscape is very beautiful: I would spend hours observing it”, “What a beautiful child! She has a charming smile “, ” The soprano was applauded for her beautiful voice that moved the audience. “
The beautiful is something that has beauty. Actually, to be more precise, things do not “have” beauty, but rather people attribute this quality to it from an appreciation that is subjective. Beyond this subjectivity, generally on a social level there is a shared belief about what is beautiful and what is not.
In the Western world, an individual with harmonious features, blond hair and light blue eyes is possibly considered beautiful. Magazines make lists of who are the most beautiful men in the world at that time. Lists in which the names of actors such as Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Brad Pitt or Ryan Gosling, for example, have appeared.
