Replying to @HPluckrose @TamaraBrouwer1 and
Except it should be 'odorat' or it currently says 'you smell'. Also it actually says 'make smelly' rather than smell. I think.

pardon me, "odorat" would be correct. And I mean, some liberty had to be taken since I'm pretty sure there was no transitive/intransitive sense to the Latin like there was in English "smell" -- or if there was, I didn't know about it.

Not one that really works for both senses of smell, no. Olfacio is probably closest.

yeah, I mean, it's just one of those jokes that doesn't really translate well, huh? Olfacio, that's an -io in the 3rd, year ( -> olfacere)? Or is that just a false cognate?

Its an io, yes.

I don't suppose it's something as simple as "some root" + facio/-ere, is it?

Yes. 'Ol' seems to be the smell bit. To make smell.

Don't suppose it would be "oleum" + "facere"? I mean, I'm sure oils were very much associated with their scents in those days.
