The further etymology is slightly unclear. De Vaan suggests that it derives from Proto-Italic *odōs, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ed-. The term may be compared to Old Armenian հոտ (hot), perhaps indicating that both forms derive from a neuter s-stem *h₃éd-os. Such a development would, however, require that the Latin term was originally neuter. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɔ.dɔr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɔː.dor] === Noun === odor m (genitive odōris); third declension A smell, perfume, stench.
