odorivector

Noun

odorivector (plural odorivectors)

1. A material that emits an odor.
   • It is generally accepted that odorivector molecules must reach chemosensors physically; liaison by radiation through distance has never been proved and seems highly unlikely.1964 July, Andrew Dravnieks, “Physicochemical basis of olfaction”, in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, volume 116, number 2
   • So, on the one hand, the odorivector gives the observer cues about polysensory space, that is if all the mechanical envelopes, viz., acoustic and haptic, coincide and so constitute, with the osmotic, a hermetic space; and he interprets the cues by 'associative concatenation'.1981, Guy Ankerl, Experimental Sociology of Architecture
