Etymology 2
Per Derksen, from the same origin as the noun *lěpъ (“glue”) via semantic shift gluey, anointed → abundant, rich, satiate → beautiful. Compare potentially akin Ancient Greek λιπαρός (liparós, “oily, greasy; splendid, glimmering (of appearence), rich (of conditions)”). For another way of semantic development compare typologically Latin fōrmōsus, fōrmō (< fōrma).
