means A chopped, tangy-sweet pickled topping for food — and also to take keen enjoyment in something.

from The condiment sense comes from French 'relais,' but English shaped it through 'reles' meaning a lingering taste or aftertaste left in the mouth — something that stays on the tongue. From that lingering taste, the word slid into meaning a flavor or quality that pleases, and from there into the verb: to relish something is to savor it the way a good aftertaste lingers. The jar in your fridge and the enthusiasm in your chest share the same root sensation — a taste that stays with you.
