Origin of the word pleasurable

The word "pleasurable" originates from two Old French words, "plais+" and "-ant," which together formed "plaisant." The word "plaisant" was used to describe something that brought pleasure or delight. The Old French word "plais+" (meaning "pleasing") came from the Latin word "placēre" (meaning "to please"). The root of this Latin word, "plac-," is also found in the English word "placate" (meaning "to make peaceful or harmonious"). The Old French word "-ant" ( meaning "making") was commonly attached to nouns to create adjectives. This suffix is still present in modern French words like "courant" (meaning "running") and "furieux" (meaning "furious"), both of which are derived from the Old French words "courir" (meaning "to run") and "furie" (meaning "rage"). In the case of "plaisant," the "-ant" suffix transformed it into an adjective that described something that brought pleasure or delight. Over time, the spelling of the English word changed to "pleasurable" as the usage of "-ant" faded away. Today, "pleasurable" is used to describe experiences, activities, or things that provide enjoyment or satisfaction.
