Etymology

The term 'looker' originated in the late 19th century, derived from the verb 'look,' which itself comes from the Old English 'lลcian.' 'Look' has roots in the Proto-Germanic '*lokลnฤ…,' which is related to the act of turning oneโ€™s face or body to see something. Originally, the word was used to describe someone who simply looks or observes, but over the years, it has gained a slang connotation referring to an attractive person. This evolution reflects societal values surrounding beauty and appearance, as the term became more commonly associated with attractiveness in casual language. By the 20th century, 'looker' had firmly established itself in colloquial English, often used in contexts ranging from fashion to media, further emphasizing the cultural importance placed on looks.
