Word origin
The word 'sensuous' originated in the mid-17th century from the Latin word 'sensuลsus', meaning 'full of feeling'. It evolved over time to describe things that appeal to the senses, particularly in a physical or aesthetic manner. The concept of sensuousness has been a recurring theme in art, literature, and philosophy, exploring the intricate relationship between sensory perception and emotional response.
