Etymology: "Flavourous" is the British spelling of "flavorous," and the two forms carry the same meaning: full of taste. The word is built from "flavour," which came into English from Old French "flaour" (later "flaveur"), and the suffix "-ous," borrowed from Latin "-osus," meaning "full of." Joining the two gives a plain description of something rich in flavour, with the suffix doing the same work it does in words like "famous" or "dangerous."

Synonyms: flavorful, tasty
