Having a strong, unpleasant smell; something that smells bad.
From 'stink' (Old English origin, possibly from Germanic languages meaning 'to smell bad') + '-y' (adjective suffix). The word has meant 'having a bad smell' for over a thousand years.
Your sense of smell is directly connected to your memory and emotions in a way that sight and hearing aren't—which is why a stinky smell can instantly transport you back to a childhood moment better than any photograph can.
