中英词源

handsome 灵巧的，英俊的，潇洒的，大方的

来自hand的引申义，即手边的，方便的，-some,形容词后缀。后来引申灵巧的，体贴的，大方的，慷慨的等多种词义，但主要用于形容男子潇洒的，英俊的，实质上即暖男。

handsome: handsome: see hand
handsome (adj.): c. 1400, handsom "easy to handle, ready at hand," from hand (n.) + -some (1). Sense extended to "fit, appropriate" (1550s, implied in handsomely), then "having fine form, good-looking, agreeable to the eye" (1580s). Meaning "generous, on a liberal scale" (of rewards, etc.) first recorded 1680s.
[Americans] use the word "handsome" much more extensively than we do: saying that Webster made a handsome speech in the Senate: that a lady talks handsomely, (eloquently:) that a book sells handsomely. A gentleman asked me on the Catskill Mountain, whether I thought the sun handsomer there than at New York. [Harriet Martineau, "Society in America," 1837]
Related: Handsomeness. For sense development, compare pretty (adj.). Similar formation in Dutch handzaam "tractable, serviceable."
