Sentence: Millie made the best pies in the county. She had the blue ribbons to prove it. She never wrote down her recipes so when asked she would write them from memory. Somehow they never turned out the same. Hers were delicious, theirs delessious. Maybe the fact that she would "forget" some key ingredient, by accident of course, had something to do with it.

Etymology: delicious (highly pleasant to the taste) + less (a smaller amount of; not as much)
