actually the root gorge= also means the mountainous region.. but the true story of the word 'gorgeous' comes to us from the word GURJI (Persians and later Turks call Gurji -Georgian people.. who were considered the most beautiful people.. and every beautiful women were called a 'gurji' from here - gorgeous.
Also i as a Georgian:-) should mention here another well known and widely term - the "Caucasian" - the race classification of white European people were called after Georgian people..by the founder of Anthropology –Blumenbach ‘after deciding that a skull of a Georgian woman was the most beautiful he had ever seen’.
