odorivectors

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
