Definition
安享 means 'to enjoy something peacefully and comfortably', often used with abstract nouns like 晚年 (old age), 幸福 (happiness), or 生活 (life). It implies a state of contentment and ease, not just passive enjoyment but a deliberate, settled enjoyment of one's circumstances. It's a formal, literary verb — you'd use it in writing or in respectful speech about someone's later years or a well-deserved retirement.
