Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ὡραῖος, ὡραία, ὡραῖον (from ὥρα, ’the bloom and vigor of life,’ ’beauty’ in the Greek writings, who sometimes join the word in this sense with χάρις (which suggests grace of movement) or κάλλος (which denotes, rather, symmetry of form)), from Hesiod down, ripe, mature (of fruits, of human age, etc.); hence, blooming, beautiful (of the human body, Xenophon, Plato, others; with τῇ ὄψει added, Gen 26:7; Gen 29:17; Gen 39:6; 1Ki 1:6): πόδες, Rom 10:15; of a certain gate of the temple, Act 3:2; Act 3:10; (τάφοι κεκονιάμενοι, Mat 23:27); σκεῦος, 2Ch 36:19.
