Priyavāc – kind words

«His sweet and kind words are full of wisdom. He has nothing to gain from noble deeds, yet he is noble; he has no craving for pleasures and is therefore not tempted by them. He is not attracted to slavery or liberation. He is not excited when his efforts bear fruit; nor is he worried if they don’t wear them. It seems to take and leave with the playfulness of a child» (Yogavāsishtha, 5.7). 

Vāc is the word, priya is a lover, someone or something pleasant. Priyavāc is speaking amiably, being friendly in addressing people using kind words.
