Flavored

/ˈfleɪvərd/ adjective

Definition

Having a particular taste added or present; infused with a specific flavor like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or other tastes.

Etymology

From 'flavor' (Old French 'flaur' meaning 'odor'), likely combined with Latin 'flagrare' meaning 'to burn'. The '-ed' suffix marks it as an adjective.

Kelly Says

Flavor itself is a mystery word—it probably comes from the smell of burnt things in medieval cooking ('flagrare' means 'to burn'), which is wild because smell and taste are basically the same sense in your brain anyway!
