Etymology
Delicios entered Romanian from French délicieux, part of a wave of French-derived vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. The French word goes back to Latin deliciosus, an adjective built on deliciae, meaning delight or pleasure. Deliciae itself comes from the verb delicere, to entice or lure away.
