Corinthian

/kəˈrɪnθiən/ adjective, noun

Definition

Relating to Corinth or its ancient Greek inhabitants; also refers to the most ornate of the three classical architectural orders, or a wealthy amateur sportsperson.

Etymology

From Latin 'Corinthius,' derived from Corinth, the ancient Greek city; the architectural order was named for its association with Corinthian craftsmanship.

Kelly Says

Corinthian columns are so ridiculously fancy with their acanthus leaf decorations that ancient architects sometimes made fun of them—yet this 'over-the-top' style became the gold standard for showing off wealth and taste!
