Delicatessen
Delicatessen is a term meaning "delicacies," or "fine foods." In English, "delicatessen" originally meant only specially prepared food. In time, the ''delicatessen store'' where this food was sold came to be called a ''delicatessen'', often abbreviated to ''deli''.
==Etymology==
''Delicatessen'' is a German loanword that first appeared in English in 1889. It is the plural form of ''Delikatesse''. In German, it was originally a French loanword, ''délicatesse'', meaning "delicious things (to eat)." The root word is the Latin adjective ''delicatus'', meaning "giving pleasure, delightful, pleasing."
The modern German version is spelled ''Delikatessen'', which may have helped support the alternative popular etymology that the ''-essen'' part of the word derives from the German verb ''essen'' ((英語:to eat)), or the noun ''das Essen'' ((英語:the food)). This would imply that the word is a compound of the German words ''delikat'' ((英語:delicate); nominative case) and ''Essen''.
