scrumptious の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scrumptious は19世紀米語で、おそらく sumptuous のくだけた強調形として生まれた語です。sumptuous はラテン語 sumptuosus「ぜいたくな」に由来し、「豪華で見事」が食べ物にも広がって「とてもおいしい」へ。関連語は sumptuous, scrummy。
Scrumptious appeared in 19th-century American English and is probably a playful or altered form influenced by sumptuous. Sumptuous comes from Latin sumptuosus, meaning "costly" or "splendid," from a root related to expense. The sense moved from richness and luxury to strong praise, especially for food.
