Mellifluous

Mellifluous is an adjective (1375-1425) which describes something that has a smooth, rich flow or filled with something that sweetens.  It is something soothing, poetic and flows like honey.  The English word came from the Latin word Mellifluus, which means “dripping with honey”.   It originally referred to honey flowing over the tongue.  A romantic word when spoken, sounds like its definition. Here are a few examples:

“The poet enveloped his audience with a mellifluous wave of words”

“Her words flowed softly from her mellifluous lips like sweet nectar from the honeysuckle blossom”

“The politicians mellifluous speech was intended to convince people to vote for him”

“The melody of the song filled the air with mellifluous sounds that lulled me to sleep”

The man’s southern accent disappeared, and his voice morphed into a deeper, mellifluous whisper.  Dan Brown - author - from the book: The Lost Symbol

A mellifluous voice, as I am true knight.
