turkish delightn. 土耳其软糖(等于Turkish paste)
约在公元1200年左右,来自古法语的词语 delit,意为“极大的快乐与满足”,又指“带来极大快乐的事物”,其源自法语词汇 delit,表示“快乐、喜悦、性欲”,源于拉丁语词汇 delitier,意为“使人十分满意、迷人”,后者源于频率动词 delectare,意为“吸引、使人愉悦、迷人、满足”,而这个词汇源自拉丁语的迷惑动词 delicere (见 delicious )。原始形式为 delite,直到16世纪才有了现代的不符合词源学的形式,这是因为其受到了 light, flight 等的影响。
Verb and Noun Middle English deliten, from Anglo-French deliter, from Latin delectare, frequentative of delicere to allure, from de- + lacere to allure
The first known use of delight was in the 13th century
