meretricious (mer uh TRISH us) The meretricious item attracts the view-er’s attention but in a showy, vulgar manner. Appropriately enough, the adjective derives from the Latin word for “prostitute.”
- Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby, who is described as being in the service of “a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty,” is prone to excess—too much alcohol served at too many parties, too many unread books, even—some would say—too many shirts.
- “A little more restraint,” said Kelly, “makes you more appealing. Any more sequins on that outfit and the effect will be positively meretricious.”
