joy

joy: [13] Latin gaudēre meant ‘rejoice’ (it came from a prehistoric base *gāu-, which also produced Greek gēthein ‘rejoice’). From it was derived the noun gaudium ‘joy’, which passed into English via Old French joye. From the same source come English enjoy and rejoice. The use of joystick for the ‘control stick of an aircraft’ (perhaps inspired by an earlier slang sense ‘penis’) dates from around 1910.
=> enjoy, rejoice

joy (n.)

c. 1200, "feeling of pleasure and delight;" c. 1300, "source of pleasure or happiness," from Old French joie (11c.), from Latin gaudia, plural of gaudium "joy," from gaudere "rejoice," from PIE root *gau- "to rejoice" (cognates: Greek gaio "I rejoice," Middle Irish guaire "noble"). Joy-riding is American English, 1908.
