The word "gorgeous" is an adjective used to describe something that is very beautiful, attractive, or stunning. It often refers to people, places, or things that evoke admiration and awe because of their striking appearance. For example, a gorgeous sunset might fill the sky with vibrant colors, or a gorgeous dress might catch everyone's eye at a party.
The word "gorgeous" comes from the Middle English word "gorgeus," which is derived from the Old French "gorgeus," meaning "elegant" or "fine," itself originating from the word "gorge," meaning "throat" or "neck" - referring to adornments or embellishments one might wear around the neck.
