Etymology
The word 'enjoy' originates from the Middle English 'enjoien', derived from the Old French 'enjoier', which means to give joy or to please. The prefix 'en-' means 'to cause', while 'joy' derives from the Latin 'gaudere', meaning 'to rejoice'. The term came into use in English around the 14th century and has evolved to encompass the idea of taking delight or pleasure in one's circumstances or activities. Over time, the usage has broadened to include any pleasurable experience, solidifying its place in everyday language.
