Etymology

The word 'indulged' is derived from the Latin word 'indulgere', which means 'to be lenient, to yield to, or to be indulgent'. This Latin term is a combination of 'in-' meaning 'in' or 'upon' and 'dulcis', which means 'sweet', referring to the pleasure or sweetness of yielding to one's desires. The term evolved over time in Middle English, where 'indulgen' began being used in the context of allowing or permitting thoughts and behaviors. By the Renaissance, the concept of indulgence included a more moralistic perspective where it was often associated with excessive behaviors or vices. In modern usage, it retains the connotation of allowing oneself pleasures, but may also imply a sense of guilt or excessiveness in its application.
