One for the ladies?

Not since Latin class in high school.
Pulchritude is a descendant of the Latin adjective pulcher, which means "beautiful."
Pulcher hasn't exactly been a wellspring of English terms, but it did give English both pulchritude and pulchritudinous, an adjective meaning "attractive" or "beautiful." The verb pulchrify (a synonym of beautify), the noun.
