'ambrosial' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'ambrosios,' where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'mbrotos' meant 'mortal.'

'ambrosios' transformed into the Latin word 'ambrosius,' and eventually became the modern English word 'ambrosial.'

Initially, it meant 'immortal or divine,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'delicious or fragrant.'
