Flavourous

/ˈfleɪvərəs/ adjective

Definition

Having a strong, distinctive taste or flavor (British spelling).

Etymology

From 'flavour' (British spelling) plus the suffix '-ous' (from Latin '-osus'), meaning 'full of'. This is the British variant of 'flavorous'.

Kelly Says

Words ending in '-ous' often sound more formal or scientific—that's why wine critics might describe a wine as 'flavourous' while everyday speakers just say 'tasty'!
