Giving pleasure, satisfaction, or a sense of fulfillment; making someone feel happy or rewarded.
From Latin 'gratificari,' combining 'gratis' (freely, willingly) and 'facere' (to make or do). It means 'to do something willingly that pleases someone.'
Neuroscientists discovered that the gratification we feel from helping others actually activates the same brain regions as when we eat chocolate or win money—it's why volunteering feels so good!
