It can be used in 3 different ways:
*as in nice to meet you: "Mucho gusto".
*as in the verb to like: Yo le gusto a ése chico. (that boy likes me)
*as one of the 5 senses (taste): el gusto es uno de los cinco sentidos.
Greetings!â

I got my definition from a very official and important source -- see link below.
It was used in the phrase, ''You only go around once in life, so you have to grab for all the gusto you can get!"

mal gusto=bad taste (figurative)
sal a gusto=salt to your liking
por gusto= just because
It really depends on the context you can email me the context, and I can tell you.

it depends... it could mean "taste" for food or clothes, or it's used to express feelings for someone: Ella me gusta= I like her, Yo le gusto= He/She likes me.

Believe it or not, it means 'taste' in Esperanto also.
