Fine, attractive, or pretty
Derived from the Middle English and Scots word 'bonnie,' which itself stems from the Middle French 'bon' meaning good. It is often used as a descriptive term of endearment in Scotland and Northern England to describe someone who is physically attractive or sweet-natured. While popular in the mid-20th century, it has become a rare vintage choice in the modern United States.
