Eudaimonia
Eudaimonia - "the experience of pure pleasure - without any mixture of pain." The Epicurean usage must be distinguished from the use of the same term by Aristotle to mean "happiness." Aristotle defines eudaimonia as pleasure plus other accompaniments (wisdom, money, etc.) which he deems to be necessary.
