Definition
Plural of delectation; multiple instances or sources of great pleasure or delight.
Etymology
Simple plural of 'delectation' from Latin 'delectatio,' formed by adding the English plural suffix '-s'.
Kelly Says
The plural form opens up poetic possibilities—'the delectations of the table' sounds much grander than simply saying 'delicious foods,' which is why Victorian food writers adored this word.
