Fetid \FET-id; FEE-tid\ (adjective) - Having an offensive smell; stinking. "When Savigny returned to his fetid sty of a hutch, he found a veritable pandemonium, a huddle of men stringing their hammocks against every available hook on the beams." -- Arabella Edge, 'The God of Spring' Fetid derives from Latin fetidus, from fetere, "to stink."
