Etymology
Delicios entered Romanian in the 19th century, during the period when scholars reshaped the language's vocabulary along French and Italian lines. It traces back to Latin deliciosus, from delicia (delight, pleasure), itself from delicere (to entice), built from de- and lacere (to lure). Delicioasă is simply the feminine singular form, marked by the adjectival ending -oasă.
