Etymology
The term 'prettified' is derived from the root word 'pretty,' which has origins in Middle English, where it meant 'clever, cunning' and likely comes from the Old Norse word 'prǫttr' meaning crafty or skillful. The transition to its modern meaning of 'attractive' evolved over time, influenced by the French word 'prétier.' The addition of the suffix '-fied' comes from the Latin-derived process of forming verbs indicating the action of making or becoming. Prettification, particularly in the context of software development, saw a rise in usage in the late 20th and early 21st century as developers aimed to create more user-friendly interfaces and cleaner code, marking a shift towards the importance of aesthetics in technology.
