\Pleas"ant\, a. [F. plaisant. See {Please}.]
1. Pleasing; grateful to the mind or to the senses;
   agreeable; as, a pleasant journey; pleasant weather.
         Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to
         dwell together in unity!              --Ps. cxxxiii.
                                               1.
2. Cheerful; enlivening; gay; sprightly; humorous; sportive;
   as, pleasant company; a pleasant fellow.
         From grave to light, from pleasant to serve.
                                               --Dryden.
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.
