Why this word?
Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart made up the popular 1980s British pop duo Eurythmics, most famous for the hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Fans might say the Eurythmics’ music was eurythmic — or as harmoniously pleasing to the ears as concentric patterns on a building appear to the eyes.
