    symmetry and dignity; comely; — expressing more than
    pretty, and less than beautiful; as, a handsome man or

    Syn: Handsome, Pretty.

    please by their delicacy and grace; as, a pretty girl,
    a pretty flower, a pretty cottage. Handsome rises
    higher, and is applied to objects on a larger scale.
    We admire what is handsome, we are pleased with what
    is pretty. The word is connected with hand, and has
    thus acquired the idea of training, cultivation,
    symmetry, and proportion, which enters so largely into
    our conception of handsome. Thus Drayton makes mention
    of handsome players, meaning those who are well
    trained; and hence we speak of a man’s having a
    handsome address, which is the result of culture; of a
    handsome horse or dog, which implies well proportioned
    limbs; of a handsome face, to which, among other
    qualities, the idea of proportion and a graceful
    contour are essential; of a handsome tree, and a
    handsome house or villa. So, from this idea of
    proportion or suitableness, we have, with a different
    application, the expressions, a handsome fortune, a
    handsome offer.

Handsome is always a compliment, an admiring way of describing someone, although it’s sometimes used as a way to describe a woman who’s not conventionally attractive but is still interesting-looking. You can use it to describe an object as well as a person, in which case you are most likely talking about something that’s really well-made, or of an obviously high quality, like a particularly handsome oak dining-room table. Occasionally, people talk about a handsome amount of money or a handsome number of votes; this is a generally admiring way of describing almost anything.

Мы так привыкли к современному значению слова handsome, что редко задумываемся о значении, с которым это слово пришло в английский язык.

К середине 16 века значение слова расширилось до «подходящий по размеру, форме и условиям», а к 1580 годам handsome стало использоваться в значении «имеющий прекрасную форму, красивый, приятный для глаз». Примерно через 100 лет слово приобрело еще одно значение – «щедрый, благородный».
