feeling or showing great pleasure and satisfaction
From Old French delitier, from Latin delectare 'to charm, delight', from de- + lacere 'to entice'
Delighted comes from Latin meaning 'to entice away' - as if pleasure literally draws us away from our worries! It's stronger than just 'happy' and suggests a bubbling, infectious joy.
