Etymology of DELIGHTFULNESSES

The word "delightfulnesses" is formed from the combination of the noun "delightfulness" and the plural suffix "-es".

The noun "delightfulness" comes from the word "delightful", which originates from the Middle English word "delitfulle", dating back to the 14th century. It is a compound of two elements: "delit" (meaning pleasure or enjoyment) and the suffix "-ful" (indicating full of or characterized by). "Delit" can be traced back to the Old French word "delit" or "delite", which means pleasure or delight.

The addition of the plural suffix "-es" to "delightfulness" creates "delightfulnesses". This suffix is commonly used in English to form plural nouns, indicating more than one or multiple of something.
