noun
A quality that gives deep pleasure to the senses or the mind, or a person or thing that has this quality to a high degree.
Beauty can describe a landscape, a face, a piece of music or even a neat argument, and people have long disagreed about whether it lies in the object or in the eye of the beholder. In casual speech a beauty is also an excellent example of something, as in a beauty of a catch. The word came into English from Old French and is tied to many set phrases, such as beauty sleep and beauty spot.
