Etymology
The word indulging comes from the Latin indulgere, which meant 'to give in' or 'be kind'. So to indulge is to allow yourself or someone else a wish or small pleasure, like giving in to a piece of cake. You can see the same root in indulgent, which describes someone who often lets others have treats.
