Aromas

/əˈroʊməz/ noun

Definition

Plural of aroma; distinctive, usually pleasant smells or fragrances.

Etymology

From Greek 'aroma' (meaning 'spice' or 'fragrance'), which entered English through Latin. The plural follows standard English noun rules with '-s'.

Kelly Says

The ancient Greeks used 'aroma' specifically for imported spices from the East—frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon—which is why the word originally meant something rare and valuable, not just any pleasant smell.
