A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high
degree of public and media attention.
The term glamour was
originally meant to be; a spell cast over someone, particularly
to change how things appeared to them. The primary modern meaning of the
word relates to fascination, charisma, beauty, or sexual attraction.
Celebrities are often referenced as glamorous. In addition to
celebs being glamorous, regular every day people, or their
lifestyles, can be described as glamorous.
Although manywords
which end in
"our"
in British English are spelled with
"or"
in American English, "glamour" is an exception with the "u" usually
being retained.
This may be due to its original being Scottish rather than
French or Latin.
The alternative spelling "glamour" is sometimes used in American
English, but not as frequently.
Also, Glamour in modern day is occasionally abbreviated as simply Glam. |
