Definitions and meaning of nidor

nidor

Etymology

From Latin nidor.

Pronunciation

  1. The smell of burning animals, especially of burning animal fat.
    • 1743, Thomas Stackhouse, A Compleat Body of Speculative and Practical Divinity, edition 3 (London), page 524:
      The First-fruits were a common Oblation to their Deities; but the chief Part of their Worship consisted in sacrificiing Animals : And this they did out of a real Persuasion, that their Gods were pleased with their Blood, and were nourished with the Smoke, and Nidor of them; and therefore the more costly, they thought them the more acceptable, for which Reason, they stuck not sometimes to regale them with human Sacrifices.

Anagrams

  • dinor

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *knīdōs, from Proto-Indo-European *knīdos-. It has been speculated that the word is cognate with Homeric Ancient Greek κνίση (knísē, “smell of roasting fat”) and Attic κνῖσα (knîsa), but Beekes finds this phonetically unlikely. Likewise for κνίζω (knízō, “I pound, scratch, chop”) and κνίδη (knídē, “nettle”) through an earlier dual sense of smelling and scratching.

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈniː.dor/, [ˈniːd̪ɔr]
