deodorises
Eliminates bad odors
Deodorises is the British spelling of deodorizes, meaning to remove or mask unpleasant smells: The spray deodorises the room instantly.
The word applies literally to cleaning products and air fresheners, and figuratively to efforts that make something unpleasant seem more acceptable: The memoir deodorises his role in the scandal.
