Euphoniad

/juːˈfoʊniæd/ noun

Definition

A song or composition characterized by euphony; a harmonious or melodious utterance.

Etymology

From 'euphonia' + the suffix '-ad' (used in classical compounds to mean a collection or group, as in 'Iliad'). This rare term elevates a euphonious work to the status of an epic, treating pleasant sounds as worthy of grand treatment.

Kelly Says

By using the '-ad' suffix (borrowed from Homer's Iliad), this word comically elevates a pretty song to the status of ancient epic poetry—it's simultaneously grandiose and delightful, suggesting that good sounds deserve heroic treatment.
