Anosmic

/ænˈɒzmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or affected by anosmia; unable to smell.

Etymology

From Greek 'an-' (without) + 'osme' (smell) + '-ic' (adjective suffix). Used to describe a person or condition characterized by loss of olfactory function.

Kelly Says

An 'anosmic' person experiences a profound shift in world perception—meals lose interest, danger signals (like smoke or spoiled food) become invisible, and even emotional connections to scent-based memories disappear.
