    [Verb]  | "delight" 


    1: to take great pleasure

    2: to give keen enjoyment

    3: to give joy or satisfaction to

    Origin: 13th century ;

     Middle English deliten, borrowed from Anglo-French deliter (continental Old French delitier), going back to Latin dēlectāre "to entice, exert fascination on, charm, be a source of delight to," frequentative of dēliciō, dēlicere "to lure, entice," from dē- {see: |de-|de-} + lacere "to entice, inveigle," of uncertain origin;

      * Note : Spellings with a nonexistent velar fricative (deliht, deliȝt, delight), by analogy with {light:1|light:1}, {sight:1|sight:1}, etc., first appear in the noun in Middle English and become predominant for both noun and verb by ca. 1600. – The simple verb lacere is attested only in the etymological musings of the grammarian Pompeius Festus; it apparently was ousted early on by the frequentative lactāre. Similarly, dēlicere is rare textually, having been replaced by dēlectāre. The verb has been compared with laqueus "loop of rope, noose, snare," but a derivative such as dēlicia (see: {delicious|delicious}) shows no trace of a labiovelar.;
