Fumose

/fjuːˈmoʊs/ adjective

Definition

Producing, containing, or resembling fumes or smoke; smoky (archaic/rare).

Etymology

From Latin 'fumosus' (smoky, from 'fumus' meaning smoke), a direct Latinate adjective that appeared in English scientific and medical texts but never became common.

Kelly Says

Latin 'fumosus' gave English fumose, but we preferred 'smoky' instead—a reminder that just because a word is properly derived doesn't mean it survives in actual use.
