  1. Prettifies is a verb that refers to the act of making something visually pleasing or attractive. It is derived from the adjective "pretty," which means pleasing to the eye, delicate, or attractive.

Common Misspellings for PRETTIFIES

Etymology of PRETTIFIES

The word "prettifies" is derived from the base word "pretty" with the suffix "-ify" added to it.

The base word "pretty" dates back to the late 14th century and originally meant "cunning" or "clever". It originated from the Old English word "prættig", which meant "cunning, crafty, or wily". Over time, the meaning of "pretty" evolved to primarily refer to something or someone pleasing or attractive in a delicate or dainty way.

The suffix "-ify" is derived from the Latin suffix "-ficare", which means "to make" or "to cause". When added to a word, it transforms the meaning of the base word to indicate the action of making or causing a particular quality.
