Etymology

The term 'cute' originated from the word 'acute', used in the 18th century to refer to something sharp or clever. Over time, the meaning shifted to describe something that is attractively appealing, especially in a childlike or innocent way. The word 'cute' emerged by the early 20th century, and with the addition of -er, 'cuter' became used to compare cuteness levels. This shows a linguistic evolution from a more intellectual or perceptive quality to one that emphasizes physical attractiveness and affability, especially in terms of animals and children. 'Cute' has become a popular term in everyday language, often used in various contexts including fashion, aesthetics, and personality.
