“Cellar Door” is supposed to be the most beautiful word, based on the way it sounds; not the meaning of the word.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_door
(Donnie Darko was a great movie, if you haven’t seen it I suggest you rent it.)
I would say that the most beautiful word is ‘free’. Whether you mean ‘Free beer’ or ‘Free speech’ I love it when things are free.
I guess so. I made that joke in my head, and I hence didn’t spell out “p-e-a-c-o-c-k.” It sound’s like “pee,” OK?

The most beautiful sounding word to me would have to be one in Mandarin - I love that language!

“Racecar” because its spelled the sameway backwards.
racecar is a palindrome. Some more of these:
go hang a salami im a lasagna hog
sator arepo tenet opera rotas (which also is an anagram for “paternoster ao ao,” meaning “our father” in latin, and the a’s and o’s standing for “alpha and omega” twice)
i prefer pi
wont lovers revolt now
we panic in a pew
stack cats

Ahh yes oblivion and blasphemy, and Satan(say it low and evil)and Evil.

i like ‘ethereal’, ‘palpable’, ‘ratamacue’ (a drum rudiment) and most french words i don’t know why, it’s just a beautiful, flowing language.

Catharsis. And I like experiencing catharsis too, so double reason to like the word.

“Pain…”
The word coddles some deviant… arousing emotion in me when I hear it. Almost a sadomasochistic feeling.
Also, “sanguine” and “angst…” and the feminine pronoun, “her.” (Especially when used in conjunction with “hurt.”)
Liquirish, Think I spelt it right.
“Infinity”
I can’t explain it really.
