The word marvellous traces back to Latin mirabilia, meaning "wonderful things," through Old French merveille. The suffix -ous (from Latin -osus) was added to form an adjective meaning "full of wonder." Over time, it evolved to describe anything extraordinary or exceptionally pleasing, retaining its core sense of awe-inspiring quality.
