I suugest it is a mispronunciatio of the french "s'il vous plait." The less educated of the time picking up what they thought they heard and used it to affectaion. Thus it became prety please

The origins of the word are explained in the transcript of a National Public Radio feature. The use of "okay" would seem to be nothing more than an alternate spelling.

That would be B - nice.  It used to mean foolish, ignorant, etc.  It comes from the Latin "nescire - to not know".

"Pretty" is giving a complement and being a nice guy, and I wouldn't worry.\n\nIf he says thinks like DAMN YOU'RE HOTT!! Or makes sexual suggestions, etc.... Then maybe you should confront him / be worried.

I think it comes from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

"Beautimous"\n\nWe started this in high schoool. \n\n"How does my hair look?" \n"Oh it's just beautimous hun!" \n\nI've actually seen and heard people all over the place say it now. Don't you think it's time Webster took a stab and entered it into the dictionary?? What a beautimous occasion that about be eh?

It is a quote attributed to Coco Chanel.  I think she was was basically saying older women aren't desirable, unless they have the decency to make themselves look younger than they are.  Kinda pathetic in my never to be humble opinion.
