delectableness

/dɪˈɫɛktəbəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being delectable.

Word Origin From Latin delectare 'to delight' and lacere 'to entice' — literally something that lures you into complete delight. The de- prefix intensifies it: thoroughly alluring. That's why delectableness is the quality of being so enticing you can't resist. Related words like delectation (the act of delighting) and delight itself come from the same root, all tracing back to the idea of being drawn in by pleasure.
