alliaceous

alliaceous (al-ee-AY-shuhs) - adj., pertaining to or resembling garlic, onion, or other members of genus Allium, particularly in taste or smell.


This might be a rerun? It's suddenly looking familiar, but a quick search isn't finding it here. Hmm. (Google and other engines are very bad at finding DW entries.) Regardless, it's good enough to run again. From, unsurprisingly, Latin allium, garlic, coined in English with an adjectival ending around 1790.
