Etymology

From good + looking. Compare Dutch goeduitziend (“good-looking”), German gutaussehend (“good-looking”).

Meanings

1. Physically attractive (of a person).
   • When one of us sees a good-looking guy, we nudge the other one and smile. One guy had the most gorgeous face I had ever seen. Every time we go to the mall we look around for 'that guy' just in case. 2001, Julia DeVillers, Teen Girlfriends:
   • The princesses were, it is true, sufficiently good-looking, yet neither their persons nor their garments had that appearance of freshness and cleanliness without which no other charms can be contemplated with pleasure. Everything had a dingy and faded appearance, very disagreeable and unroyal to a European eye. 1869, Alfred Russel Wallace, The Malay Archipelago, volume I, London: Macmillan and Co., page 343:
