i dont think that it should be because we dont discribe things as being lessish do we? no! i have issues with this and dispite it possably being in the dictonary and such like i will never reconise it to be so.

But you can't really want less & less, but you often want more and more and more, that thing you want is a little bit Moreish. I actually don't really care, maybe you're right afterall

Yes, it's a word!
The English language is constantly evolving, and if enough people use a term consistently it will get into the dictionary as a genuine word! The dictionary doesn't tell us what we should and shouldn't say, it describes language as it is actually used. Moreish is an adjective that means 'so pleasant to eat that one wants more'. Yum!

Many words are created out of other words into "slang" because there is no other current word to describe what we want. For me, moreish means something is so good that you want more, and you can't stop (generally food, eg salted crisps).
Lots of words have been added to the dictionary because of common use.
I say, in a culture where we are resorting more and more to technology and letting it work for us rather than using our own creative energies, i welcome individuality from people, so be it via the creation of new words.

yes its an English word meaning taste good it might have come from moorish (people the moors) as they were considered sophisticated.It is not a slang word language has to evolve if not we would all be talking Saxon or something every word we use has been slang at one time or another

moreish - adjective UK INFORMAL APPROVING
(of food) having a very pleasant taste and making you want to eat more:
- These peanuts are very moreish, aren't they?
i got this from typing in dictionary looked it up under free dictionery.
also type in word:define in google search bar if it exists {not in this particular cases (moreish)} it will come up with a definition.

No I doubt it is a word although I tend to use words that make sense or make sense to people anyways like funner instead of more fun.
Moorish however is a word which describes certain types of Muslimic people

It is not a word but slang and it has no place in language or the dictionary, as far as I can see.

No. The word is "Moorish" and it relates to Islamic culture in Spain.
