Etymonline
Word Origin & History
sensuous
1641, "pertaining to the senses" coined (from L. sensus) by Milton to recover the original meaning of sensual (q.v.) and avoid the lascivious connotation that the older word had acquired by Milton's day, but by 1870 sensuous, too, had begun down the same path. Rare before Coleridge popularized it (1814).
