French term or phrase: entress
From a medical document. Used as an antonym of distress.
"....source de problèmes pathologiques parfois graves : passage de l’entress à la détresse comportementale."

eustress
Explanation:
In medical parlance, the combining form "eu" (from the Greek, meaning "well") is the opposite of "dys" ("poor" or "bad"). The use of "eu" as the first syllable of a word implies ease, goodness, or wellness. Hence "eustress" vs. "distress".

See also the web sites below:

"Distress versus Eustress? Stress is not necessarily a bad thing. A moderate amount of stress ..."

"Distress versus Eustress? Too much or too little stress can hamper your performance; too much stress is sometimes called “distress”..."

Cheers,
