sipid

English edit

Etymology edit

Back-formation from insipid. A direct borrowing from Latin would have instead yielded sapid, but neither of these words is much used in English; a most common synonym from this root is savoury.

Adjective edit

sipid (comparative more sipid, superlative most sipid)

(obsolete) Having a taste or flavour; savoury; sapid.
