Fortunately we have etymology to tell us where words come from! According to Merriam-Webster and OED, delight is derived from the French 'deliter', while OED says enlight is probably Germanic or Latin derived. Enlight has been around longer though! English is weird and delighful :)
Enlight: Earliest known use - Old English. The earliest known use of the verb enlight is in the Old English period (pre-1150). Enlight is of multiple origins. A word inherited from Germanic; probably modelled on a Latin lexical item. Perhaps also partly formed within English, by derivation. Delight: Earliest known use - Middle English. The earliest known use of the noun delight is in the Middle English period (1150—1500). OED's earliest evidence for delight is from around 1225, in Ancrene Riwle. It is also recorded as a verb from the Middle English period (1150—1500). Delight is a borrowing from French. Etymons: French delit, delite.

Someone please tell me WHY "go to website" is ever an option when reporting spam in Gmail - let alone the primary option??
A screenshot of a popup modal from Gmail that reads: Report spam or unsubscribe? Go to the sender's website to unsubscribe. If you didn't sign up to receive this message, Report spam instead to help protect all Gmail users from unwanted email." There is a primary button labeled "Go to website", and a secondary button labeled "Report spam"
