What does Dilettante Mean?

 Dilettante. What is the meaning of the word?  In Italian it means to delight, but in the 21st century it is used for describing a person who loves the arts.
 I think that I could easily fit into both meanings.  I delight in many things, such as beading, reading, writing and pretty much anything that has to do with arts and creativity.  Projects and activities are what I thrive on.  Anything that takes detailed thinking or high concentration, I usually embrace eagerly.  Definitely, the word dilettante fits me like a glove.
