TIL that "delit" is an archaic form of "delighted", by which fact I am delit!

-------

Everything was in our favour; everybody on board the brig was in good spirits. The captain was delit with the vessel; the crew, Italians and Maltese, were in high glee at the prospect of making a short voyage on high wages in a well-provisioned ship.

-- Wilkie Collins in The Queen of Hearts
