'sind', related to German Sinn, therefore to English sense.

“Pretty” is superficial appearance, “beauty” can go deeper and can also be used in a more figurative meaning. You’d never say “a pretty mind” (unless in a patronizing way: “don’t worry your pretty mind”) because you cannot even see the mind. The mind is beautiful in the way it functions.
Compare, for instance, with “relationship”: “they have a beautiful relation ship” works, “they have a pretty relationship” doesn’t.
