Alternative words

[sandals]

Hello I just found this interesting site and hope you guys may be able to give me some inspiration. I am looking for either exotic words or latin translations that could be used as alternatives to the following:

Invigorating, Sensual, Hypnotic, Refreshing, Stimulating, Relaxing, Energising, Calming,
Uplifting

[Clanad]

Sensual in Latin can be voluptas, while refreshing can be refoveo or possibly novo and Calming can be alcedonia or quietus all dependent on context...

Click here for a thesaurus website. Once there, just type your word into the slot at the top of the page, click 'Search' and look under the heading 'Synonyms'. (Several of your words are Latin in origin!)

[Clanad]

Q! Long time, how's winter proceeding in your corner of the planet?... Happy New Year (or Felix sit annus novus by the way!

[Quizmonster]

And to you and yours, C. I think I've mentioned before that we live in a 'cup' of hills and they seem to protect us from the worst of winter's effects. I haven't seen a single snow-flake yet and don't really expect to. Indeed, we've had only one - what I'd describe as - really cold day. I know from news bulletins that some of your compatriots are suffering, however. Not sure about your own area. Cheers

Forgive me for hijacking, but it's Clannad and Quizmonster I'm seeking, to assist with my query which I've just posted, so I'm hoping this might grab your attention, gents, as I know your erudition of old.
We're trying to script a compere's introductions for a music hall show, a la Leonard Sachs. I'm finding it hard to source suitably obscure superlatives ... the thesausus site recommended above is too modern. Any suggestions?

[Quizmonster]

Isn't that odd! I just answered that very question, P. Problem is, it refers you to the same thesaurus I had already recommended to Sandals above! As a matter of interest, I definitely remember Leonard Sachs actually using 'pulchritudinous' when introducing some pretty ladies.

This link indicates my favorite (although, honestly I don't consult it that often). I would expect it's avialable in the U.K.

... and here's a sample of the contents:

I often consult it when attempting (usually unsuccessfully) to respond to one of Q's OED selections...
I wouldn't like to find myself riddled with opprobrium when describing the beauty of our mountains when veiled in pogonip... obviously the result of afflatus, without which the use of such pulchritudious examples of our language would end in sad desuetude... (Thanks for that Q!)

[Pythia]

Clanad, that looks a delicious book - nice lead!

QM, thanks for your input. Pulchritudinous, naturally, is a dead cert.

Onward and upward. I shall plunge once more, undaunted, into the thesaurus. (Cover me, I'm going in ...)
