"delight"<-- de- + light <--This particular "light" comes from

"delite" (ME) <-- delit & delitier ( #OldFrench) <-- dēlectāre ( #Latin) <-- de- + laciō (Lat), in which "lacio" <-- *lakjō ( #ProtoItalic), meaning "to allure."

At some point, the spelling of "light" ("light") influenced the spelling of "delite," making the #English word seem to share the same origins.

But where the root of "light" means "to shine," the root of "lite" in "delight" means "to entice."

Can we stop saying “dogfooding” and “eat your own dog food” as slang for using of your own products and services in the same way as a customer? We can do better. We are not dogs. We are people.

For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food

"Eat what you cook" is a much better term, and what I currently use. However, it doesn't simplify to the “dogfooding" form.

Let's start a thread, to gather the possibilities.

Hallo!
Hello!
Привет!
toki a!

I'm new here on Conlang Network. :)
I've been part of the conlanging hobby since I was a young teenager, but I've not worked on anything conlang-related in quite a while.

I've pursued #linguistics in university because of my #conlanging hobby; and I'm a professional in the translation/localisation industry, specialising in video games and other media.

I speak #German and #English natively ( #bilingual) and have been learning a bit of #Russian on the side. I am fluent in #tokipona, which I've been learning for over seven years now.
