Fetors

/ˈfi.tərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of fetor; multiple foul or offensive smells, or instances of severe bad odors.

Etymology

Plural form of 'fetor' (Latin fetor, meaning strong foul smell), created by adding the English '-s' suffix to the Latin noun.

Kelly Says

Using 'fetors' in plural (rather than just 'fetor') suggests multiple layers or sources of stench—it's the word choice a novelist might use to describe the overwhelming smell of a battlefield or plague-struck city.
