In summary

Inherited from Old Catalan plaer~plader~plaser~plazer, from Latin placēre.
The Old Catalan word was mainly used as a verb, "to please", and this was later replaced by the likely analogical form plaure, while the original infinitive was maintained in a more abstract and noun form: compare a similar development in French plaisir (“pleasure”) vs. plaire (“to please”). Compare also the noun use of Occitan plaser (“pleasure”), Italian piacere, Spanish placer, Romanian plăcere, etc., from the Latin infinitive.
