While ángel hermoso is common, the word ángel is also used in Spanish to refer to a person's innate charm or 'aura', such as saying someone 'has an angel' (tiene ángel).
The adjective hermoso shares an ancestral root with the English word 'form'. It traces back to the Latin 'formosus', which describes something that has a beautiful or well-proportioned shape.
