köken: при- (pri-) + го́жий (góžij), from Proto-Slavic *goditi. Parallel with Belarusian прыго́жы (pryhóžy). Cognate with Czech hezký, Serbo-Croatian згодан. Compare typologically хоро́шенький (xoróšenʹkij) (see more). Also compare English handsome.
köken: Cognate with Tatar матур (matur, “beautiful”), Chuvash маттур (mattur, “strong, stout; dextrous; brave; beautiful”) and dialectal Kazakh матор (mator, “beautiful”). Presumably, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *bagatur (“hero”).. If so, doublet of батыр (batır, “hero, brave”) and баһадир (bahadir, “brave, strong”). Irregular nasalization and preservation of a roundness-disharmonic high vowel could be…

köken: Inherited from Byzantine Greek ὄμορφος (ómorphos) < ἔμορφος (émorphos), from the Ancient Greek εὔμορφος (eúmorphos), from εὖ (eû) + μορφή (morphḗ). Typological comparisons: * First element (εὖ (eû)): сompare Latin bellus < duonus. * Second element (μορφή (morphḗ)): сompare Latin fōrmōsus, fōrmō (< fōrma). See bellus, fōrmōsus for more.

First appears in the late Edo period, in the early 1800s. The use of 敵 (teki, “enemy”) instead of 的 (teki, “-ish, -like”) is an example of phonetic ateji (当(あ)て字(じ)).
köken: First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 아ᄅᆞᆷ〮답다〮 (Yale: àlóm-tàptá), perhaps from 아ᄅᆞᆷ〮 (Yale: àlóm, “privateness; non-publicness”) + 답다〮 (Yale: tàptá, “to be as”, adjective-deriving suffix). The phonological match is exact, but the semantics are problematic. Other Middle Korean-based etymologies have been proposed but are unlikely due to Middle Korean pitch…

Etimoloji

Probably ultimately from Latin legitimus (“lawful; proper”), and likely through the intermediate of Spanish lindo (the native Portuguese descendant (and thus its doublet) in this case is lídimo; there is also the later learned borrowing legítimo). Some sources cite Latin limpidus (“clean”), but this is unlikely for several reasons, including that this word already gave rise to another…
