Beauty is a fearsome attractiveness that inspires a sense of awe, wonder or humility. This can be contrasted with cuteness -- fragile attractiveness that inspires protective emotions. Beauty is considered a root aesthetic, so much so, that it is common to define aesthetics as a sense of what is beautiful. As beauty draws intense emotion, it is common to use dramatic words to describe it. This can include negative terms that are used in an ironic sense such as "terribly attractive." The following vocabulary may be of use in describing beauty.
