I thought when voting for the most beautiful English word it would only make sense to nominate original English creations and no adoptions form other langs. But that's just me.
By the way, I'm pretty positive "beautiful" is exclusively English. |

I don't think there's anything that truly exclusively english it's always got some roots in some other language somewhere along the way pretty much no? |

Most English words are transended from French,Germanic and Latin Roots. There aren't that many 'English creations,' and what would you define as English anyway? Anglo-Saxon! |
