Nesh is an adjective that means soft and tender. 

Our word of the day comes from Old English and has been around for several centuries. In addition to being an adjective, it can also be used as a verb that means to act timidly. Here’s an example of the adjective version:

If there’s one thing I love it’s having a nice, nesh cookie for dessert. Taking a big bite into something soft and tender is a perfect way to punctuate a perfect meal.
