Etymology

The term 'deodorized' comes from the word 'deodorize,' which is formed by combining the prefix 'de-' and the root word 'odor.' The prefix 'de-' suggests removal or reversal, while 'odor' pertains to a smell, typically an unpleasant one. The formation of the word is rooted in the late 19th century, when the need to eliminate or mask odors became increasingly relevant due to urbanization and the rise of public health consciousness. As industries expanded and consumers became more aware of hygiene, the development of deodorizing products became essential for both personal and environmental cleanliness. Thus, 'deodorized' entered common usage to describe substances that have undergone this process, highlighting the society's shift towards maintaining a pleasant atmosphere in homes and public spaces.
