Onomatopoeia
I love that word and what it means. I love the fact that I learnt to spell it when I was 7 and won a spelling competition because of it! I also love to think of onomatopoeiac words... *buzz* *crash* *whirr* *clang* *hiss* *purr* *squeak* *mumble* *hush* *boom* ...and try to come up with more. My favourite one is *plop*

Eviscerate...Has to be my favourite word. I like 's' words. Sharp, scintillating...But Eviscerate is definitely the word I love the most...

I love Welsh place names - Llanfairfach, Llandudno, Rhondda etc - not sure about the spelling, but pronounced properly they're just lovely.

"Kebab" .... currently near the top of my list. Thinking hard about "Lager" as well.

OK, this may sound dumb, but I find the most beautiful words are the ones that we don't have a word for...
the word for the cozy time between fully awake and fully asleep
The touch of the side of a nose on the back edge of your neck
wet wind with a bit of a chill in it that seems to make all of your senses come alive...
Stating that I love the word omnipotent.
