Etymology 1
[edit]Uncertain. Probably ultimately from Latin legitimus (“lawful; proper”), and likely through the intermediate of Spanish lindo[1] (the native Portuguese descendant (and thus its doublet) in this case is lídimo; there is also the later learned borrowing legítimo). Some sources cite Latin limpidus (“clean”),[2] but this is unlikely for several reasons, including that this word already gave rise to another word in Portuguese, limpo.
Adjective
[edit]lindo (feminine linda, masculine plural lindos, feminine plural lindas, comparable, comparative mais lindo, superlative o mais lindo or lindíssimo, diminutive lindinho, augmentative lindão)
Noun
[edit]lindo m (plural lindos, feminine linda, feminine plural lindas)

Spanish
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Old Spanish lindo, of uncertain origin, but probably from Latin legitimus (“lawful, proper”) through metathesis and assimilation: *lid(i)mo > *limdo > lindo.[1] If so, a doublet of the learned borrowing legítimo. Corominas considers both lindo and its possible Portuguese cognate lídimo (“legitimate”) as semi-learned terms, but this is uncertain.[2]
Some sources derive it from Latin limpidus (“clean”) instead,[3] but this is less likely for both phonetic and semantic reasons. Old Spanish lindo originally meant “legitimate”, later “authentic, pure, good”, and eventually gave rise to the modern meaning. Moreover, Latin limpidus is already the source of Spanish limpio.
Adjective
[edit]lindo (feminine linda, masculine plural lindos, feminine plural lindas, superlative lindísimo)
