affix_form: -licious

meaning_definition: tasty | delicious | characterized by

example_words_list_1: gaylicious | funalicious | anvilicious | bubblicious | cuddlicious | modelicious

categorical_group_list: Qualitative, Sensory

etymology: From Latin -licius (as in glaciēs -> glaciōsus, though -licious is primarily a modern English formation from -y/-ous adjectives ending in -y -> -ious -> -licious, e.g., delicious < delitiosus < delectāre), but strictly speaking, -licious is a modern English derivational suffix formed from the combination of the adjectival suffix -y and the Latin-derived suffix -ous, or more accurately, it is a variant of -ous attached to nouns ending in -y (e.g., delicious, scrumptious). However, the prompt asks for etymology of the morpheme 'licious'. The morpheme '-licious' is not a direct Latin suffix but a modern English analogical formation. The root 'lic' comes from Latin 'licere' (to be pleasing) in 'delicious' (de- + lece/lece -> delectus -> delicious). Wait, 'delicious' comes from Latin 'deliciosus', from 'delectare'. The 'lic' is not a standalone morpheme in Latin. In English, '-licious' is a bound suffix meaning 'tasty' or 'characterized by', formed from adjectives ending in -y (e.g., 'yummy' -> 'yummy-licious' is not standard, but 'delicious' is the base). Actually, '-licious' is a suffix in English formed from the ending of 'delicious'. It is not a Latin suffix. Therefore, the ancestor language is English (modern), not Latin. The prompt lists 'language: Latin' which is likely an error in the provided record or refers to the ultimate root of 'delicious'. Given the constraint to be >= 90% confident, I must correct the linguistic fact: '-licious' is an English suffix. Its etymology is from the word 'delicious'.
