Gray is right and here is more information for you. The word "deli" comes from the word "delicatessen." In the United States, a deli department sells sandwiches, processed meats like cold cuts (sliced roast beef, turkey, pastrami etc.) and other prepared items like salads and olives that are priced by weight.
