لَذَّةٌ

Pleasure; delight; opposite of أَلَمٌ; (M, L, K;) so explained because it happens not save to one who is of sound constitution, free from pains; synonym with شَهْوَةٌ [in one of the senses of this latter word], or nearly so: (TA:) pleasantness; delightfulness; deliciousness; lusciousness, sweetness: (the Lexicons passim: see the intrans. v. لَذَّ, of which it is a verbal noun) plural لَذَّاتٌ. (S, L, Msb, K.)

↓ لَذْوَى, of the measure فَعْلَى, also signifies the same as لَذَّةٌ, and is formed by the change of one of the two dháls into و; [in the L ى;] a change similar to that in تَقَضَّى. (L.) It occurs in a tradition of 'Áïsheh, relating to the present world, قَدْ مَضَى لَذْوَاهَا وَبَقِىَ بَلْوَاهَا [Its pleasure, or delight, or pleasantness, or delightfulness, hath passed away, and its probation remaineth]. (L.)
