Olid is an adjective that means having a strong, disagreeable smell.
The Latin word olere (oh LARE ay) means ‘to smell.’ Somewhere before reaching English, the word acquired a more specific meaning and came to refer to a strong, unpleasant smell.
Kevin had been stashing milk in his closet again. I could track the bottles down through the olid scent that spread down the hallways.
