olid (comparative more olid, superlative most olid)

    • 1824, John Mason Good, The study of medicine: with a physiological system of nosology:
      The febrile attack is usually somewhat severe in all its stages, the pricking sensation occurs during the hot fit, and is like that of pin-points struck into the skin; the sweat is copious, but proves by its sour and olid smell that it is a morbid secretion, and hence affords no relief.
    • 1999, Christian Petersen, Let the Day Perish:
      An olid smell made the boy catch his breath.
