Without getting into the actual Greek spellings, this word comes from two Greek roots. Phon is the root meaning sound, and other words from this root are microphone, telephone, headphones, symphony, polyphony, and the funny word cacophony [unpleasant sound, noise]. The Greek prefix eu means positive, pleasant, or good. Words with this prefix are euthanasia, meaning good [eu] death [from the Greek thanatos, death] and euphoria, extremely elevated positive emotional feelings. Another less common word is from psychology: eustress, meaning stress [as in exercise] that is positive, beneficial.

So euphony is pleasant sound.
