Definition of leisured

leisuredadjective

nhàn rỗi

/ˈleʒəd//ˈliːʒərd/

"Leisured" derives from the Old French word "loisir," meaning "leisure." This, in turn, came from the Latin "licere," meaning "to be permitted" or "to be allowed." The evolution of "leisure" from "licere" reflects how leisure was initially viewed as a privilege or permission to be free from work. Over time, the concept of leisure shifted from a privilege to a valued state of being, hence the modern-day connotation of "leisured" as someone who enjoys ample free time and is not burdened by work.
