agrado, noun:

liking

Some Spanish words only ever appear in particular phrases, where there is little variation. and agrado is one of them. In formal language, if something es de mi/tu/su etc agrado it means it is to my/your/his/etc liking. It is often used in the negative:

una situación que no es de su agrado
a situation that isn’t to his liking

Another very formal structure in which agrado is used is tener el agrado de hacer algo ... to have the great pleasure of, where the verb is to do with communicating:

Tenemos el agrado de comunicarle ...
We have the great pleasure of informing you that ...
