cute
Charmingly good-looking
Cute describes something appealing in a delicate or endearing way—a cute baby, a cute puppy, a cute outfit.
The word often implies smallness or youthfulness.
Applied to adults, cute usually means attractive in a fresh, approachable way rather than strikingly beautiful: He's cute, but not my type.
Cute can also mean cleverly contrived, sometimes dismissively: Don't get cute with me.
A cute trick or cute idea may be too clever for its own good.
