Food or drink that is moreish tastes so good that you want another bite, handful, or sip — even when you have already had enough. Crisps, , nuts, and chocolate get called moreish a lot. It does not mean the food is healthy, and it does not mean you are greedy; it means the taste pulls you back. The word is informal British English. Americans almost never use it; they might say they can’t stop eating something, which is close, or ‘addictive’, which is too strong and a bit wrong for a snack.
讓人想再吃的、意猶未盡的(多半指零食;英式口語)
組成From more + -ish. The -ish ending makes an adjective: having that quality — here, making you want more.
