sukha

accusative singular neuter of sukha

1. happiness, pleasure, ease
2. well-being, comfort
3. the opposite of pain (dukkha)

Built from

• su — prefix · well, good
  The prefix su- carries the concrete sense of 'fitting well' or 'easy'; cognate with Greek eu- and Sanskrit su-.
• kha — root · fit, be suitable
  The root refers to what is easy or well-fitted; combined with su-, it denotes ease and comfort.
• m — ending · accusative singular neuter
  The accusative -m marks the object of a verb, here in the neuter singular.

Etymology. su- 'well, good' + √kha (to fit, be suitable); corresponds to Sanskrit sukha. The prefix su- is the same Indo-European root as Greek eu- (eulogy, euphemism). Originally the concrete sense 'well-fitted, easy to move in', became the abstract sense of comfort and ease. In Buddhist doctrine, sukha is the conditioned pleasure of sense-desire and material existence, distinguished from the unconditioned ease (sukha) of nibbāna.
