odorableadj.

Brit.

/ˈəʊd(ə)rəbl/, U.S.

/ˈoʊdərəb(ə)l/

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Probably partly a borrowing from Latin. Probably partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin odorabilis ; odour n., -able suffix.

Etymology: Probably originally < post-classical Latin odorabilis perceptible by smell (4th cent.; from 13th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin odōrārī to smell, scent ( < odor odour n.) + -bilis -ble suffix; in later use apparently independently < odour n. + -able suffix. Compare Old French, Middle French, French odorable perfumed, sweet-smelling (c1250), perceptible to the sense of smell (1838).

Able to be smelled; perceptible to the sense of smell.In later use frequently as a pun on adorable.
