Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'όμορφος' meaning 'beautiful' derives from Ancient Greek 'ὡραῖος' (hōraios), which originally meant 'timely' or 'in season', and later came to mean 'beautiful' as something that is pleasing at the right time. The word underwent semantic shift over time to focus on aesthetic beauty.
