flavourflavorn.

Brit.

/ˈfleɪvə/, U.S.

/ˈfleɪvər/

Forms: α. Middle English– flavor, Middle English Scottish flewoure, Middle English– flavour. β. 1500s Scottish fleoure, fleure, fleowre, fleware, flewere, 1700s Scottish flaur.

Etymology: apparently an adoption of Old French flaur, fleiur, *flaor, fraor smell. The euphonic v of the α forms cannot be proved to have existed in Old French (the Old French form flaveur alleged by Roquefort being unauthenticated); the analogy of Old French emblaver for earlier emblaer, povoir (modern pouvoir) for earlier pooir, is open to question. Possibly the word may have undergone assimilation to savour.The Old French forms cited above are treated by Godefroy as variants of flairor < vulgar Latin *frāg(r)ōrem (compare Italian fragore ), < frāgrāre (see fragrant adj.); but some scholars refer them to a Latin type *flātōrem , < flāt- participial stem of flāre to blow. With regard to the use of -our or -or , see favour n.

1. A smell, odour. In modern use with more limited sense (cf. 2): A more or less subtle admixture or accompanying trace of a particular odour; an olfactory suggestion of the presence of some particular ingredient; an aroma.

2. The element in the taste of a substance which depends on the co-operation of the sense of smell; a more or less subtle peculiarity of taste distinguishing a substance from others; a touch or slight admixture of a particular kind of taste; a savour.Milton's use of flavour in the first quot., where he apparently distinguishes it both from taste and smell, has given rise to a conjecture that the sense is that of Latin flāvor yellowness (a correctly formed word, though without classical authority.) Possibly a recollection of the text ‘Ne intuearis vinum quando flavescit’ (Proverbs xxiii. 31) led Milton to use the word in what he may have imagined to be its etymological sense. But it is not certain that he did not mean it simply in sense 2.

5. Particle Physics. [An arbitrary choice of name.] A quantized property of quarks which differentiates them into (at least) six varieties (called up and down, charmed and strange, top and bottom) and which can be changed by the weak interaction; an analogous property of leptons which differentiates the electron, the muon, the tau, and their respective neutrinos. Also, a quark or lepton of a particular flavour.

1975 Sci. Amer. Oct. 38/1 In the whimsical terminology that has evolved for the discussion of quarks they are said to come in four flavors, and each flavor is said to come in three colors.
