Eager to please others; showing a cheerful willingness to do what others want. Characterized by a desire to be agreeable and accommodating.
From French 'complaisant,' from 'complaire' (to please), ultimately from Latin 'complacere.' The word entered English in the 17th century, maintaining its sense of pleasing others.
Don't confuse with 'complacent'! Complaisant people are PLEASANT - they want to please everyone. Think 'complaint-less' - they never complain because they're too busy being agreeable!
