Very fine or easily broken (8)

I believe the answer is:

delicate

(Other definitions for delicate that I've seen before include "Fragile - tactful" , "Very finely textured" , "Discriminating" , "Not robust" , "Fine and dainty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
