flavorful
UK: ˈfleɪvəfʊl | US: ˈfleɪvərfəl
adj. having a rich or pleasing taste
adj. full of distinctive flavor
The word "flavorful" combines "flavor," derived from Middle English flavour (via Old French flaur, from Latin flator "smell, odor"), with the suffix "-ful," from Old English -full ("full of"). The suffix "-ful" is commonly used to form adjectives indicating abundance or possession of a quality. Thus, "flavorful" literally means "full of flavor," reflecting its modern usage to describe richly tasty food or drink.
