The phrase "delicate of" is not a proper or commonly used phrase in written English.
It is grammatically incorrect. "Delicate" is an adjective and "of" is a preposition, so they cannot be used together in this way. A correct and more common way to use "delicate" would be as follows: - "She has a delicate constitution." (meaning she is easily affected by sickness or discomfort) If you are looking to express the idea of being careful or considerate, you could use phrases like: - "Be delicate with her feelings." - "They handled the situation with delicacy and tact." Using "delicate" in this way would imply that the situation or object is fragile or easily damaged.
