Dulcor

/ˈdʌlkɔːr/ noun

Definition

Sweetness, especially in taste or in a musical or pleasant quality.

Etymology

From Latin 'dulcis' (sweet) + the suffix '-or' (a state or quality, as in 'color' and 'odor'). This follows the pattern of Latin nouns that became English words for sensory qualities.

Kelly Says

Dulcor is a rare word that connects to 'color' and 'odor'—it's part of a whole family of Latin words for sensory experiences, each ending in '-or'!
