Etymology
1. c.1540, "to show gratitude to," from L.
gratificari "to do favor to, oblige, gratify," from
gratus "pleasing" + root of
facere "make, do, perform" (see factitious). Meaning "to give pleasure to" is from 1568.
2. From French gratifier, from Latin grātificō (“to do a favor to, oblige, please, gratify”), from grātus (“kind, pleasing”) + faciō (“to make”). See: French '
gratifier', Latin '
grātificō'.
