Etymology
The word joins the prefix παν- (from πᾶς, meaning all or completely) with έμορφος, a colloquial variant of όμορφος, meaning beautiful. όμορφος itself traces to μορφή, meaning form or shape. So the compound reads roughly as completely beautiful, and Greek speakers use it as an intensified version of όμορφος.
