STRONGS G699:
ἀρεσκεία (T WH -κια [see Ι, ι]), -ας, ἡ, (from ἀρεσκεύω to be complaisant; hence, not to be written [with R G L Tr] ἀρέσκεια [cf. Chandler § 99; Winers Grammar, § 6, 1 g.; Buttmann, 12 (11)]), desire to please: περιπατεῖν ἀξίως τοῦ κυρίου εἰς πᾶσαν ἀρεσκείαν, to please him in all things, Colossians 1:10; (of the desire to please God, in Philo, opif. § 50; de profug. § 17; de victim. § 3 at the end. In native Greek writings commonly in a bad sense: Theophrastus, char. 3 (5); Polybius 31, 26, 5; Diodorus 13, 53; others; [cf. Bp. Lightfoot on Colossians, the passage cited]).
