Because it sounds like something that you need for your car rather than female beauty.

    You’re so right!

    It comes from the latin word for beautiful, pulcher. Every time I translate it, the word just repulses me! It’s such an unflatering word to mean beautiful in the language that romantic languages are based upon!!
