The correct balance or size relationship between different parts of something, or how large something is.
From Latin 'proportio,' meaning 'symmetry' or 'proper relation.' It comes from 'pro-' (forward/according to) and 'portio' (share or part).
The Mona Lisa and Greek temples look beautiful partly because they use proportions based on the 'golden ratio'—a mathematical pattern found in nature, from seashells to galaxies. Proportions aren't just about size; they're about harmony and balance.
