Me parece que este hilo va a ser un poco fétido

En España, más que fetidez, usamos hedor.

No sé por qué en inglés tenemos "fetid" (adjetivo) pero no hay sustantivo cognado.

pjt33 - what do you mean by "sustantivo cognado"?

Mi frase práctica:
¡Sus zapatas de gimnasi estaban dentro de su casillero hace dos meses ... hay una gran fetidez!

In Chile we use all of them except peste, instead we use apesta.

hedor, fetidez, hediondez.


@laepelba: Sus zapatos or zapatillas

@pjt33: I have the feeling that cognates were created just because of usage of the words transformed the meaning. All this happened with time, of course.

Hernan,
I'm sure I have heard apesta also, and certainly apestoso.

I would say hedor, as has already been suggested, but more probably mal olor.
