Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin word 'sensus' (meaning sense or feeling), coined by the poet John Milton in the 17th century to describe things affecting the physical senses rather than the intellect. Over time, it evolved from a neutral descriptor of sensory perception to encompass connotations of aesthetic pleasure and bodily gratification.
