Etymology
Delightsome comes from the common word delight, which means 'great pleasure' or 'joy', and the ending -some, which means 'causing' or 'full of', as in bothersome. So delightsome literally means 'causing delight' or 'full of pleasure', which explains why we use it for something very pleasant.
