The [[French]] noun ''[[jouissance]]'' means "[[enjoyment]]" -- both in the sense of [[pleasure]] and in the sense in which one speaks of the [[enjoyment]] of rights and privileges -- but it has a sexual connotation (i.e. "[[sexuality|orgasm]]) lacking in the [[English]] word, and is therefore left untranslated in most English editions of [[Lacan]].
