Scrumptious words

Scrumptious?

That is a weird word. It looks weird and sounds weird, too. I had to look it up to make sure it was spelled correctly.

My dictionary explains that this word is probably a variant of sumptuous.

Scrumptious means delightful or delectable.

Sumptuous means luxurious, lavish, costly and magnificent, and comes from the Latin word for expensive.

Both are uncommon words. You don't hear them every day. So get out there and spread the word!
