Beauetry

/boʊˈɛtri/ noun

Definition

A made-up or playful term possibly meaning poetic speech about beauty or the behavior/practices of 'beaus' (suitors); not a standard dictionary word.

Etymology

Possibly from 'beau' + '-etry' (as in 'poetry', 'geometry'); this appears to be word-play or neologism rather than established etymology.

Kelly Says

This looks like creative word-formation on the model of 'poetry' and 'geometry'—someone took 'beau' and added '-etry' to make it sound technical or formal, a playful trick English speakers use when inventing humorous terms.
