delightsome
Bringing much pleasure
Delightsome means highly pleasing or delightful.
The word is archaic or literary, carrying an old-fashioned charm that *delightful* lacks: a delightsome garden, delightsome company.
It appears occasionally in religious texts and period literature but sounds quaint in modern speech.
