delikata

No participle in there, however much it looks like one. Delikata ends in -at-a, which in Esperanto is the present passive participle plus an adjective ending, so the eye reads it as "being delik-ed" and starts hunting for a verb deliki. There is none, and there never was. Delikat- is a single borrowed root and the -at- is a fossil of Latin's own participle machinery, jammed solid long before the word left Rome. The same trap is worth watching for in any borrowing that happens to end -ata: check whether the verb behind it actually exists before you decode.

Three senses, and they pull in different directions. Physically, delikata is fine and easily damaged: a delikata ŝtofo, a delikata maŝino. Of the senses, it means faint and requiring attention - a delikata gusto, a delikata nuanco - and this is where it separates from mola at 1,466, which is only about softness to the touch. Socially, a delikata demando is one that has to be handled carefully because somebody may take offence, which is exactly the English use.

And one sense English lost. Latin delicatus also meant pampered, and Esperanto keeps a trace of it: a delikata infano can be a child who is sickly or fussy rather than one who is finely made. Delikateco is the quality, delikataĵo a delicacy on a plate, and maldelikata covers everything from coarse cloth to a coarse joke.
