enjoyable
UK: ɪnˈdʒɔɪəbl̩ | US: ɪnˈdʒɔɪəbl̩
adj. giving pleasure or satisfaction; pleasant or delightful
The word "enjoyable" combines "enjoy," derived from Old French enjoier (to give joy, take pleasure in), with the suffix "-able," from Latin -abilis (capable of). "Enjoy" itself traces back to Latin gaudere (to rejoice). The suffix "-able" transforms the verb into an adjective, indicating the capacity to evoke pleasure. The logical progression reflects how an action ("enjoy") becomes a descriptor for experiences that invite enjoyment.
