pleases
Makes someone content
Pleases is the third-person singular of please, meaning to give satisfaction or enjoyment: Whatever pleases the customer.
In formal or legal contexts, it signals discretion or preference: The court may rule as it pleases.
The construction if you please adds polite emphasis or, with irony, expresses indignation: He arrived three hours late, if you please.
