One way to hold sensuous: the moment the body answers before the mind does. Silk touches the neck, warm bread reaches the nose, a low note fills the room — and you have already reacted. Every use of the word stands somewhere on that line between the senses and thought, and the word always leans to the senses.
sensuous 的核心畫面可以想成：身體比腦袋先回答的那一秒。絲綢碰到脖子、熱麵包的香味飄到鼻子、一個低音填滿整個房間——你其實已經反應了，才開始想。這個字的每一個用法，都站在「感官」和「思考」之間的那條線上，而且一律往感官那邊靠。
From the word’s history
The packet derives sensuous from Latin sensus, meaning sense or feeling, plus the adjective ending -ous. The word therefore starts out as 'having to do with the senses', which is exactly the line the modern uses spread out along.
來源資料說 sensuous 來自拉丁文 sensus（感覺、感官）加上形容詞字尾 -ous。也就是說，這個字一開始就是「跟感官有關的」，而今天的各種用法，就是沿著這條線往不同方向散開。
