1. Prettifies is a verb that refers to the act of making something visually pleasing or attractive. It is derived from the adjective "pretty," which means pleasing to the eye, delicate, or attractive.

   In terms of appearance, prettifying involves enhancing the aesthetic qualities of a person, object, or space. It generally involves adding decorative elements, altering the layout, or refining the overall look to make it more appealing. This could include applying makeup or adding accessories to enhance a person's appearance, arranging flowers or adding decorative items to beautify a space, or modifying the design of an object to make it more attractive.

Etymology of PRETTIFIES

The word "prettifies" is derived from the base word "pretty" with the suffix "-ify" added to it.

The base word "pretty" dates back to the late 14th century and originally meant "cunning" or "clever". It originated from the Old English word "prættig", which meant "cunning, crafty, or wily". Over time, the meaning of "pretty" evolved to primarily refer to something or someone pleasing or attractive in a delicate or dainty way.

The suffix "-ify" is derived from the Latin suffix "-ficare", which means "to make" or "to cause". When added to a word, it transforms the meaning of the base word to indicate the action of making or causing a particular quality.
