PD Toastmasters Club's Word of the Day: Delectation

Delectation (dee-lek-TAY-sun) - from the Latin for "to please" - is another way of saying pleasure, delight, or enjoyment.

Example: "Even after the buffet had evolved into the more functional sideboard in the 18th century, lavish arrangements of silver and porcelain continued to be put out for the delectation of guests at large dinners."
