∙ 15y agoDelicatessen is a German loanword in English.[1] Reference works state that the word delicatessen comes from the German Delicatessen, the plural form of Delicatesse. (This old spelling later changed to the spelling Delikatessen in current German.) The word entered German from French délicatesse and means "delicious things (to eat)". It ultimately originated from the Latin adjective delicatus, meaning "giving pleasure, delightful, pleasing". An alternative, and incorrect, popular etymology supposes that the -essenpart of the word is in fact the German verb essen (= English: to eat; also German: das Essen = English: the food). This would imply that the word is a portmanteau of the German words "delikates" (delicious, nominative case) and "Essen".
