emanate

Emanate.
Today's papers (at least two) have used this word. Someone asked me the meaning. It is simply this: to come out from a source.
Reporters often use this word in such context: foul odor emanated from the closed room.

  1. I suppose 'odour' (I prefer the English to the American spelling 'odor') is normally used when it the smell is foul. Else, it is smell, frangance, scent. Would I be right?
