來源跟delight有點關係，最原始指的是"寵物"，但後來轉變成"結構上虛弱易壞的"-->到現在意思又有"精細的"意思

c.1374, from L. delicatus "alluring, delightful, dainty," also "addicted to pleasure,";related by folk etymology (and perhaps genuinely) to deliciæ "a pet," and delicere "to allure, entice." Meaning "feeble in constitution" is c.1400; that of "easily broken" is recorded from 1568. Delicacy "a dainty viand" is from 1450.
