Definition
Plural of Adonis; handsome young men, or references to multiple instances of the mythological god.
Etymology
Standard English pluralization of Adonis. The term became common in literature as a way to refer to any exceptionally beautiful young man, treating the proper name as a common noun describing an archetype.
Kelly Says
By calling any hot guy an 'Adonis,' we're literally still using ancient mythology as a compliment—2,500 years later we haven't found better words for beautiful than names from Greek stories!
