[F. plaisant. See {Please}.]
1. Pleasing; grateful to the mind or to the senses;

Syn: Pleasing; gratifying; agreeable; cheerful; good-humored;
enlivening; gay; lively; merry; sportive; humorous;
jocose; amusing; witty.
Usage: {Pleasant}, {Pleasing}, {Agreeable}. Agreeable is
applied to that which agrees with, or is in harmony
with, one's tastes, character, etc. Pleasant and
pleasing denote a stronger degree of the agreeable.
Pleasant refers rather to the state or condition;
pleasing, to the act or effect. Where they are applied
to the same object, pleasing is more energetic than
pleasant; as, she is always pleasant and always
pleasing. The distinction, however, is not radical and
not rightly observed.
\Pleas"ant\, n. A wit; a humorist; a buffoon. [Obs.] |
