Ethereal is another of those words that sounds as good as its meaning.
It means gaseous; invisible but detectable; aeriform: characterized by lightness and insubstantiality; as impalpable or intangible as air; characterized by unusual lightness and delicacy.
My mother took a picture of my daughter years ago that was the perfect description of this word; some 34 years ago. I will have to try to find that picture.
