pleasure

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'delight' is the definition.
(I know that delight can be written as pleasure)

'meadows in unspoilt surroundings' is the wordplay.
'meadows' becomes 'leas' (lea can mean a meadow or field).
'in unspoilt' becomes 'pure' (I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'surroundings' indicates putting letters inside.
'leas' placed within 'pure' is 'PLEASURE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pleasure that I've seen before include "Urgent entreaty begins gratification" , "contentment" , "diversion" , "A desirable emotion" , "Feeling of enjoyment or satisfaction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
