🌳Etymology
Origin
From French 'gorgeus' or 'gorge' meaning 'throat' or 'neck', ultimately derived from Latin 'gurges' meaning 'whirlpool' or 'abyss'. The word evolved to describe richly colored fabrics and ornate dress, particularly those with high necklines, eventually generalizing to mean beautiful and magnificent.
