delight

From Middle English delite, borrowed from Old French deleiter/deliter, from Latin dēlectāre ("to delight, please"), a frequentative of dēlicere ("to allure, entice"), itself from dē- ("away") plus laciō ("to lure, to deceive"), tracing back to Proto-Italic *lakjō ("to draw, pull").

The word entered English as delite; the modern -ight spelling is unetymological, shaped by analogy with words like light, might, and bright. The -gh- may also have been an attempt to represent the original Latin -c- sound, as in the obsolete spelling indight for indict.

It's a doublet of delect, and shares roots with delectation, delicate, delicious, and dilettante — all tracing back to that same Latin dēlectāre.
