Flavorsome

/ˈfleɪvərsəm/ adjective

Definition

Having a pleasant, noticeable flavor; tasty and flavorful.

Etymology

From 'flavor' plus the suffix '-some' (from Old English '-sum'), which means 'full of' or 'characterized by'. The '-some' suffix is also seen in words like 'handsome' and 'wholesome'.

Kelly Says

The '-some' suffix is ancient and appears in words from Old English times, making 'flavorsome' sound almost archaic compared to the modern 'flavorful'—it's like the word's grandparent!
