Tasteful

/ˈteɪst.fəl/

सुघड़; सुरुचिपूर्ण; मर्यादित; अच्छे स्वाद वाला

Origin & History

From the noun taste + the suffix -ful (‘full of’), first used in the sense ‘having good taste’ in Early Modern English.

taste (रुचि/स्वाद, सौंदर्य-बोध) शब्द में -ful (अर्थ: ‘से युक्त/भरा हुआ’) प्रत्यय जोड़कर बना; ‘अच्छा स्वाद/सौंदर्य-बोध रखने वाला’ अर्थ में प्रारम्भिक आधुनिक अंग्रेज़ी काल में प्रचलित।

Definition

Tasteful describes something (such as clothing, decoration, design, or behavior) that shows good aesthetic judgment—elegant, appropriate, and not too showy or offensive.

tasteful का अर्थ है ऐसी चीज़ (जैसे कपड़े, सजावट, डिज़ाइन या व्यवहार) जिसमें अच्छा सौंदर्य-बोध हो—सुघड़, मर्यादित/उचित, और न तो भड़कीली हो न ही आपत्तिजनक।
