Something that delights or gives pleasure; a source of great enjoyment or satisfaction.
From Old French 'delice', from Latin 'delicia' (pleasure, delight). This word is quite archaic in modern English but survives in poetry and older texts.
In medieval French poetry, 'delice' was used to describe things that brought pleasure to the senses—a delice might be beautiful music, a fine meal, or the company of someone you loved!
