Word origin
The word 'redolent' has its origins in Latin, coming from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the verb 'olere' meaning 'to smell'. Over time, it evolved in English to convey not just a pleasant scent but also to evoke memories or emotions. The word has been used in English literature for centuries to describe scents, memories, and experiences that are rich and evocative.
