Etymology

Apparently inherited from Sanskrit सुख (sukha), but the Sanskrit word itself (q.v.) is strongly suspected to itself be derived from Prakrit.

Adjective

sukha

easy
agreeable, pleasant
- c. 50 BC, the Buddha, anonymous author, translated by Ajahn Sujato, Udāna(pāḷi), page 148; republished as The Eighteenth Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Khuddaka-Nikāya‎, Colombo, 2009:
  සුඛො විවෙකො තුට‍්ඨස‍්ස සුතධම‍්මස‍්ස පස‍්සතො
  අබ්‍යාපජ‍්ජං සුඛං ලොකෙ පාණභූතෙසු සංයමො.
  sukho viveko tuṭṭhassa sutadhammassa passato
  abyāpajjaṃ sukhaṃ loke pāṇabhūtesu saṃyamo.
  Seclusion is happiness for the contented
  who see the teaching they have learned.
  Kindness for the world is happiness
  for one who’d not harm a living creature.
happy
