enjoyment
UK: ɪnˈdʒɔɪmənt | US: ɪnˈdʒɔɪmənt
n. the state or process of taking pleasure in something
n. a source of pleasure or satisfaction
The word "enjoyment" derives from the verb "enjoy," which entered Middle English from Old French enjoier (to give joy) or enjoir (to rejoice). The prefix "en-" (from Latin in-, meaning "in" or "into") combines with "joy" (from Latin gaudium, meaning "joy"). The suffix "-ment" (from Latin -mentum) was added to form a noun denoting the state or result of enjoying. The evolution reflects a shift from active rejoicing ("enjoy") to the abstract state of pleasure ("enjoyment").
