单词 | glamour |
释义 | glam·our also glam·or (glămər) n. 1. Exciting or mysterious attractiveness usually associated with striking physical beauty, luxury, or celebrity. 2. Archaic Magic cast by a spell; enchantment. [Scots, magic spell, alteration of GRAMMAR (from the association of learning with magic).] Usage Note: Many words, such as honor, vapor, and labor, are usually spelled with an -or ending in American English but with an -our ending in British English. The preferred spelling of glamour, however, is -our, making it an exception to the usual American practice. The adjective is more often spelled glamorous in both American and British usage. |
