Explanation: This word is the third person singular, aorist indicative passive form of the verb 'osphrainomai'. It means 'to smell' or 'to perceive by smell'. In this passive form, it indicates that the subject 'was smelled' or 'was perceived by smell', though in Koine Greek, the aorist passive of verbs of sensation like 'smell' often takes on an active meaning, indicating the subject 'smelled' or 'perceived by smell'. It describes the action of using the sense of smell.
