यह शब्द Greek दार्शनिक Epicurus से आया, जिन्होंने सिखाया कि चिंता छोड़ो और life को सादगी से enjoy करो। लोगों ने इसे खाने-पीने के मज़े समझ लिया, इसलिए Epicurean बना — जिसके लिए pleasure ही सब कुछ हो।
The word comes from the Greek philosopher Epicurus, who taught people to stop worrying and enjoy life simply. Over time people took 'enjoy life' to mean enjoying food and comfort, so an epicurean became someone devoted to the pleasures of the senses.
