JOUISSANCE
Etymology
Noun
jouissance (uncountable)
(obsolete) Enjoyment, delight, pleasure.
In poststructuralism, a transgressive, excessive kind of pleasure linked to the division and splitting of the subject involved.
Usage notes
• The sexual connotation (i.e. orgasm) is lacking in the English word "enjoyment", and therefore the word is left untranslated in English editions of the works of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.
