Etymology

Plăcut is the past participle of the verb a plăcea, meaning to please or to like, which Romanian inherited from Latin placere. Over time the participle came to work as a standalone adjective meaning pleasant or agreeable. Latin placere also gave English words such as please, placid, and placate. Its deeper Indo-European origin is not settled, so no root is given here.
