I don't know why, but bioluminescence sounds prettier than luminescence to me. Too many nature documentaries perhaps.

I’ve always really enjoyed how “speckle” sounds for some odd reason.

these words all mean lovely things, but that's not the same thing as sounding lovely

How "Serendipitous" is not on here is a crime against humanity.

Ahh, how's the Serenity? "Dad loved the serenity of the place, I think he just liked saying the word" - The Castle

Love how they're also beautiful words in French : mellifluent, éthéré, sérénité, luminescence

There are too many words on these lists (both pretty and ugly) that people have chosen because of their meaning, and not because the word itself is euphonious (another clunky "ugly" word to describe something pleasing) or cacophonous (which means pretty much what it sounds like)!

Idk why but "there" is the most beautiful word for me.
