:Pronunciation:
{pul-kruh-TOO-di-nuhs}

:Usage:
"pulchritudinous movie stars"

:Origin:
Latin
This word has already served English handsomely for centuries; it has been used since the 1400s. It's a descendant of the Latin adjective pulcher, which means "beautiful." Pulcher hasn't exactly been a wellspring of English terms, but it did give us both pulchritude and pulchritudinous, an adjective meaning "attractive" or "beautiful."
