Pleasure is the feeling of happiness, enjoyment, or satisfaction you get from doing or experiencing something you like. It can be physical, like eating tasty food, or emotional, like spending time with friends.
From Middle English *plesir/plesaure*, from Old French *plesir* “to please,” from Latin *placēre* “to please.” Over time it shifted from meaning “will, desire” to the feeling of enjoyment itself.
