Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Ολλανδικά: hovesch

Συγγενές με Γερμανικά: hübsch

In summary

From Middle Dutch hovesch, and thus a doublet of hoofs (“courtly”). Originally a western variant form.
For the semantic and phonetic development of this word compare also German hübsch (“pretty”) and Central Franconian höösch (“careful, slow”). Semantically compare the also related German höflich (“polite”) as well as French courtois (“courtly, polite”).
