Definition
英秀 is a literary adjective describing someone who is both handsome and spirited, or a person of outstanding ability. It's used in formal or classical contexts, not everyday conversation. The word combines 英 (heroic, outstanding) and 秀 (elegant, refined), so it carries a sense of both inner talent and outer grace.
