euphonic

/juːˈfɒnɪk/ adj

Characterized by euphony; harmonious.

Word Origin From Greek 'eu-' 'good' and 'phōnē' 'sound' — so euphonic means 'good-sounding'. The same roots give us 'euphony', 'euphonious', 'euphonium', and also 'cacophony' (bad sound), 'symphony' (sounding together), 'telephone' (far sound), 'microphone' (small sound). The 'eu-' prefix also appears in 'euphemism', 'eulogy', 'euphoria', 'euthanasia'. So euphonic is literally 'good sound'.
