prettygoodwordalliaceous (al-ee-AY-shuhs) - adj., smelling or tasting of onion or garlic.
Or any other member of the genus Allium, including scallion, shallot, leek, chives, and hundreds of other wild species, making it the largest genus of the lily family. From Latin allium, garlic -- I confess the English word is more associated with onion to me, but that just goes to show that etymology is not destiny.
