Corinthianesque

/ˌkɔːrɪnθiəˈnesk/ adjective

Definition

Having qualities resembling or reminiscent of Corinthian style, especially in being ornate, elaborate, or luxurious.

Etymology

From 'Corinthian' plus '-esque,' a suffix meaning 'in the style or manner of,' creating an adjective for anything resembling Corinthian characteristics.

Kelly Says

The '-esque' suffix is like saying 'kind of like' in fancy language—so 'Corinthianesque' means 'kind of fancy and decorated like ancient Corinth,' and it's used by art critics to describe elaborately decorated things!
