UK: fɪˈlɪsɪtəs | US: fəˈlɪsɪtəs
adj. well-suited or appropriate, especially in expression or style
adj. pleasing and fortunate; marked by happiness
The word "felicitous" derives from the Latin root felix (happy, fortunate), which also gives us words like "felicity" (happiness) and "felicitation" (congratulation). The suffix "-itious" (similar to "-ous") forms adjectives meaning "full of" or "characterized by." Over time, "felicitous" evolved to describe things that are not only fortunate but also apt or gracefully expressed, blending luck with elegance.
