Delectation - a podcast by Word of the Day

Delectation is a noun that refers to delight or enjoyment.

Our word of the day has evolved from the Latin word delectare (del eck TAR ay) which means ‘to allure, please or charm.’ You could think of delectation as a second cousin to the word delicious, which has the same root.

Carmen was hoping to make a good impression on her new neighbors with her cooking skills. The delectations she shared with them were certainly very tasty.
