Etymology
The word 'smelly' dates back to the late 16th century, originating from the Old English 'smēol,' which is derived from 'smēogan,' meaning 'to smell.' Over time, 'smelly' evolved to describe something that has a strong or unpleasant odor. The comparative form 'smellier' follows the conventional pattern of English adjectives, where the suffix '-ier' is added to indicate a higher degree of the quality described. This transformation reflects the dynamic nature of the language in expressing varying intensities of sensory experiences, especially related to odor.
