Smoky

/ˈsmoʊki/ adjective

Definition

Filled with, producing, or resembling smoke; having a smoky taste or smell.

Etymology

From 'smoke' (from Old English 'smoca') plus '-y' suffix. 'Smoke' itself comes from Proto-Germanic, related to 'steam' and has meant the visible vapor from fire for thousands of years.

Kelly Says

Smoked foods last longer because smoke is naturally antimicrobial—ancient peoples accidentally discovered food preservation when they noticed meat near smoky fires wouldn't spoil, leading to smoking as a cooking method!
