Etymology
Plăcere comes from the Romanian verb a plăcea, meaning to please or to like, which descends from Latin placere. The noun is built by adding the abstract-noun suffix -ere directly to the verb stem, the same pattern seen in tăcere (silence) from a tăcea and vedere (sight) from a vedea. The word has stayed close to its Latin sense of pleasing someone or feeling pleased.
