One of my favorite English words is 'gingerly'.
( 1519, "elegantly, daintily," perhaps from O.Fr. gensor, comp. of gent "dainty, delicate," from L. gentius "(well)-born." Meaning "extremely cautiously" is from 1607.)

If translated, I think 'delicaat' would come closest in my language, but it's never quite the same. Though, as far as I know, it does not have any connection with 'ginger', fresh ginger has a flavor I would also call delicate.

I wonder are there any other words that have this double quality?
