Most people misunderstand the word 'Cute'

Although it is commonly used in everyday life, very few people know the true meaning of the word "Cute" and where it comes from.

Originally, the word "Cute" was thought to be a colloquial shortening of the English word "Acute", which means sharp, quick-witted, or clever.

Around the 18th-19th century, the word "Cute" was used to describe smart, agile, and clever children.

Over time, as children often evoke feelings of love, the word "Cute" gradually changed its meaning to cute. By the 20th century, the word "Cute" was almost only understood as pretty, lovely - an interesting change that reflects the way language always changes according to human feelings and culture.

Nowadays, "Cute" is commonly used to describe something that feels cute, adorable, and endearing. This word often appears when talking about children, pets, cartoon characters, or even just funny, clumsy actions.
