Delighter f English (Rare)This name is derived from the word of the same name meaning "one who gives/takes delight", which is derived from the word
delight meaning "joy, pleasure", which was spelled
delite until the 16th century because of the change of the word that was being influenced by words ending with
-light (from Middle English
delit which, in turn, is derived from Old French
delit meaning "pleasure, delight, sexual desire" or
delitier meaning "please greatly, charm." Those Old French words originate from Latin
delectare meaning "to allure, delight, charm, please", which is a frequentative of
delicere meaning "entice.")
