Literary notes about sapid (AI summary)

In literature, the word "sapid" is often employed to evoke a rich sensory experience, extending beyond its literal association with taste. For instance, in Émile Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, "sapid" is used alongside adjectives like "fragrant" and "coloured," suggesting that its application is not confined merely to flavor but rather to a broader, more evocative depiction of appealing qualities [1]. This usage illustrates how the term can add layers of sensory depth and metaphor to descriptive passages in literary works.
  1. [Pg 228] as fragrant, sapid or coloured.
    — from The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life by Émile Durkheim
