Etymology
The word pleasing comes from the old Latin root plac- and the verb placere, which mean 'to please' or 'to be calm'. Because it shares the same root as please and pleasant, a pleasing thing makes you feel calm, happy, or satisfied, so the word means giving enjoyment or being attractive and agreeable.
