A problem with a word that concerns food. Please help; it'll only take a couple seconds.?

Question

Hi, I'm looking for the spelling of a certain word. I think it should be spelled like "decadent" or "decatent" or something like that. It means something like a delicacy or like something delicious or it refers to appetite. I tried so many spelling of it but the closest one is "decadent" but that means degrading. Please help (I hope I haven't gone crazy!!)

Answer 1

Decadent, which in this use means something of an evil nature. Generally expressed as "decadent pleasure.'

Answer 2

Decadent

Answer 3

Decadent is often used to describe a food that is so delicious that it seems like an overindulgence, an "over the top pleasure"...so good that it's immoral.

That is the correct spelling.

Answer 4

Delicatessen, Delicacy

Answer 5

"Decadent" means descending. It's famously used to refer to the Roman Empire, which became decadent when its citizens became so preoccupied with pleasure that they let their civilization fall to pieces.

In modern usage, it generally refers to a surfeit of pleasure, e.g. "It was bad enough that I was drinking wine with friends in the early afternoon, but we opted to be decadent and open a bottle of champagne."

Answer 6

You have the spelling correct. It is spelled decadent and it also means 'providing unrestrained gratification; self-indulgent', in reference to rich, delicious foods.
