the.com/savor
the deliberate art of making a good thing last longer than it should.
means To taste or experience something slowly and with full appreciation, drawing out every bit of pleasure it offers.
from From Latin sapere, 'to taste' — and also 'to be wise,' since the Romans heard a kinship between the tongue that discerns flavor and the mind that discerns truth. The taste-sense traveled through Old French savour into English, leaving its wiser cousin behind in words like 'sage' and 'sapient.'
