– 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.
