Word to the Wise: Comely

Something that’s "comely" (KUM-lee) – from the Old English for "pretty" – is pleasing or agreeable to the eye.

Example (as used by Anne Rice in The Vampire Armand): "His glossy nails made his hands look ornamental and special, caressive, comely and lovely with which to be touched."
