What does ODOUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A distinctive smell, whether pleasant or unpleasant; the British spelling of odor.
Odour refers to any smell detected by the nose, though in everyday use it often leans toward an unpleasant or noticeable one rather than a neutral scent. The word is also used figuratively in phrases such as in bad odour, meaning out of favor or held in low regard. British, Irish, and Commonwealth English keep the spelling odour, while American English generally writes odor without the u. Perfumers, chemists, and cooks all rely on the same underlying sense of a chemical stimulus reaching the nose.
