The verb *disfrutar* comes from the Latin *fructus*, meaning 'fruit' or 'produce.' Over time, it evolved to mean reaping the 'fruit' or benefit of something, which is why it means 'to enjoy' or 'to benefit from.'

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'disfruten' more formal than 'disfrutad'?
Yes. 'Disfruten' is the command form for 'ustedes' (the formal 'you all'). 'Disfrutad' is the command form for 'vosotros' (the informal 'you all,' used mainly in Spain).
Do I need 'de' after disfrutar?
Sometimes. While 'disfrutar' often stands alone ('Disfruten la comida'), it is also very common to use 'disfrutar de' ('Disfruten de la vista'). Both ways are correct, but using 'de' emphasizes the source of the enjoyment.
