Colloq .]
Syn : {
Handsome }, {
Pretty }.
Usage :
Pretty applies to things comparatively small ,
which please by their delicacy and grace ;
as ,
a pretty girl ,
a pretty flower ,
a pretty cottage .
Handsome rises higher ,
and is applied to objects on a larger scale .
We admire what is handsome ,
we are pleased with what is pretty .
The word is connected with hand ,
and has thus acquired the idea of training ,
cultivation ,
symmetry ,
and proportion ,
which enters so largely into our conception of handsome .
Thus Drayton makes mention of handsome players ,
meaning those who are well trained ;
and hence we speak of a man '
s having a handsome address ,
which is the result of culture ;
of a handsome horse or dog ,
which implies well proportioned limbs ;
of a handsome face ,
to which ,
among other qualities ,
the idea of proportion and a graceful contour are essential ;
of a handsome tree ,
and a handsome house or villa .
So ,
from this idea of proportion or suitableness ,
we have ,
with a different application ,
the expressions ,
a handsome fortune ,
a handsome offer .
