Definitions

1. Caused to give off a strong, offensive stench, as when something rotting is left to spoil the air around it

Etymology: "Fetidified" is the past participle of "fetidify," meaning "made foul-smelling." It combines "fetid," borrowed from Latin "fetidus" (from "fetere," to stink), with the suffix "-ify," which comes through Old French from Latin "-ificare," a "make into" ending that English has used for centuries to form verbs like "beautify" and "simplify."
