Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the adjective 'redolent' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Redolent' comes from Old French or directly from Latin 'redolentem', the present participle of 'redolere' (to emit a scent or diffuse an odor), from 'red-' (an intensive prefix or 'back') and 'olere' (to give off a smell).
