The definition of "aesthetic"

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary On-Line Dictionary (2010), the word "Aesthetic" finds its roots in German, Latin and Greek and it means having a sense of perception or to perceive. In a nutshell it means; relating to the beautiful. In art the word is used to discuss something that holds aesthetic value, or something that is pleasing in appearance, attractive or having aesthetic features.

It can also be used to describe someone who appreciates or is zealous about the beautiful or what is pleasurable to the eye.
