Things that make you happy or give you enjoyment and satisfaction.
From Old French 'plesir' (to please), derived from Latin 'placere' (to be pleasing). The word evolved from describing simple satisfaction to encompassing all forms of joy and delight.
The idea of 'pleasure' was controversial in medieval Europe because some religious leaders thought enjoying yourself was sinful, but philosophers like Epicurus argued that simple pleasures—like friendship and conversation—were actually the highest good.
