Etymology
χαριτωμένος is the passive participle of the verb χαριτώνω, meaning to grace or endow with charm. That verb is built on χάρις (grace, favor), the same noun that gives Modern Greek χάρη and English words like charisma and charity by later borrowing. The participle ending -ωμένος marks a state that has been brought about, so the word literally describes someone or something that has been made graceful.
