1 smekkr
m. [see smakka; from Germ. ge-smack; Dan. smag]:—taste; a mod. word, as also deriv. smekk-laus, tasteless; smekk-ligr, tasteful:—the ancients seem to have had no exact word for Lat. gustus, for even bragð (IV) is not found in old writers; the Germ. has kosten, which answers to Lat. gustare, but the Norse kosta (q. v.) is never used in that sense.
