Origin

Middle English (usually in the plural denoting fragrant plants or spices): via Latin from Greek arōma 'spice'.

  • A walk past any Indian restaurant will confirm that spices have a definite aroma, and it is ‘spice’ that was the original meaning of aroma. From the 13th century, when the word entered English via Latin from Greek arōma, ‘spice’ was the only meaning, and the modern sense ‘a distinctive pleasant smell’ did not appear until the beginning of the 19th century.
