stenchy
Reeking of decay
Stenchy means smelling bad or having a strong, unpleasant odor.
The word is informal and somewhat playful—a casual intensification of stench: The garbage got stenchy after sitting in the sun.
It's the kind of word a child might coin, though adults use it too when describing something that reeks.
