nice
Fine (Latin finis, end) denotes that which has been brought to a full end, finished. From this root-sense many derived meanings branch out, causing words quite remote from each other to be alike synonyms of fine. That which is truly finished, brought to an ideal end, is excellent of its kind, and beautiful, if a thing that admits of beauty; as, a fine house, fine trees, a fine woman, a fine morning; if a thing that admits of the removal of impurities, it is not finished till these are removed, and hence fine signifies clarified, clear, pure, refined; as, fine gold. That which is finished is apt to be polished, smooth to the touch, minutely exact in outline; hence fine comes to be a synonym for all words like dainty, delicate, exquisite; as, fine manners, a fine touch, fine perceptions. As that which is delicate is apt to be small, by an easy extension of meaning fine becomes a synonym for slender, slight, minute, comminuted; as, a fine thread, fine sand; or for filmy, tenuous, thin; as, a fine lace, fine wire; and as a thin edge is keen, sharp, fine becomes also a synonym for these words; as, a fine point, a fine edge. Compare BEAUTIFUL; MINUTE.
Antonyms:
big, blunt, clumsy, coarse, great, heavy, huge, immense, large, rude, stout, thickSynonyms:
beautiful, clarified, clear, comminuted, dainty, delicate, elegant, excellent, exquisite, fine, gauzy, handsome, keen, minute, polished, pure, refined, sensitive, sharp, slender, slight, small, smooth, splendid, subtile, subtle, tenuous, thin

Definition of nice
Origin :
- late 13c., «foolish, stupid, senseless,» from Old French nice (12c.) «careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish,» from Latin nescius «ignorant, unaware,» literally «not-knowing,» from ne- «not» (see un-) + stem of scire «to know» (see science). «The sense development has been extraordinary, even for an adj.» [Weekley] — from «timid» (pre-1300); to «fussy, fastidious» (late 14c.); to «dainty, delicate» (c.1400); to «precise, careful» (1500s, preserved in such terms as a nice distinction and nice and early); to «agreeable, delightful» (1769); to «kind, thoughtful» (1830).
- «In many examples from the 16th and 17th centuries it is difficult to say in what particular sense the writer intended it to be taken.» [OED]
- By 1926, it was pronounced «too great a favorite with the ladies, who have charmed out of it all its individuality and converted it into a mere diffuser of vague and mild agreeableness.» [Fowler]
- «I am sure,» cried Catherine, «I did not mean to say anything wrong; but it is a nice book, and why should I not call it so?»»Very true,» said Henry, «and this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk; and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh! It is a very nice word indeed! It does for everything.» [Jane Austen, «Northanger Abbey,» 1803]
- adj likable, agreeable
- adj precise, neat, refined
