• DAINTY
1.
  • adj.
  • Fond of dainties, *cuppediorum studiosus (after Suet., Caes. 46): fastidii delicati. I am not at all dainty, nihil moror cuppedia: to be dainty, ligurrire (Ter., Eun., 5, 4, 14).
  • Possessing exquisite taste, nitidus; elegans.
  • Fastidious, fastidiosus.
2. s. cibus delicatus; in the plur., cuppedia, or cuppediae, cibi delicatiores; res ad epulandum exquisitissimae; bonae res (Nep., Ages., 8, 5, τὰ ἀγαθά); gulae irritamenta (inasmuch as they tickle the palate, or make the mouth water). Such expressions as escae molliculae, scitamenta, belong to comedy, and lautitiae betokens a magnificent style of living): to live on the choicest dainties, unum quidque, quod est bellissimum, edere (after Ter., Ad., 4, 2, 51): this bird is a dainty seldom to be met with, haec ales nunc inter primas expetitur: this, too, is one of Gunter’s dainties, est hoc quoque inter opera ganeae: don’t talk to me of dainties, nihil moror cuppedia.
