中古英语 stench,源自古英语 stenc, stync "一种气味,香气,芳香"(愉快或不愉快),源自原始日耳曼语 *stankwiz(也是古撒克逊语 stanc,古高地德语 stanch,德语 stank 的来源)。
与 stink(动词)类似,就像 drench 与 drink 一样,就像 clench 与 cling 一样。
古英语中的意义倾向于"难闻的气味"(尤其是体臭或腐烂的恶臭,还有地狱的气味),这一意义从公元1200年开始占主导地位。古英语中的动词 stencan 只意味着"散发出恶臭"。相关词汇: Stenchy; stenchful。
Middle English, from Old English stenc; akin to Old English stincan to emit a smell — more at stink
The first known use of stench was before the 12th century
