- early 14c., "the part of man that is concerned with the senses," from O.Fr. sensualitй, from L.L. sensualitatem (nom. sensualitas) "capacity for sensation," from L. sensualis "endowed with feeling, sensitive," from sensus "feeling" (see sense). Chiefly "animal instincts and appetites," hence "the lower nature regarded as a source of evil, lusts of the flesh" (1621). Sensual is attested from 1450. Sensuous coined 1641 (by Milton) to recover the original meaning "pertaining to the senses" and avoid the lascivious connotation of sensual, but by 1870 it had begun down the same path. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
