Beautihood

/ˈbjuːtihʊd/ noun

Definition

The state or condition of being beautiful; the quality or characteristic of possessing or representing beauty.

Etymology

From 'beauty' plus '-hood' (a suffix creating abstract nouns of state or condition, seen in 'childhood' or 'adulthood'). An elevated or literary term for the condition of being beautiful.

Kelly Says

Making 'beautihood' is a rare and literary move—it treats beauty almost like a place you can enter (like 'childhood'), which is why poets use it way more than regular people do!
