Etymology

The word 'pleasant' originates from the Old French 'plesant', which means 'pleasing'. This word evolved from the Latin 'placens', the present participle of 'placere', meaning 'to please'. The term has been in use in the English language since the late Middle Ages, where it described things that brought joy or comfort. As language evolved, the comparative form 'pleasanter' became common in English usage to draw distinctions between varying degrees of pleasantness. However, in modern usage, many speakers prefer the constructions 'more pleasant' instead of 'pleasanter', despite 'pleasanter' being entirely correct grammatically. This reflects a broader trend in English towards the use of multi-syllabic adjectives for comparisons.
