“I suspect the ill-conceived psychic term 'clairalience' may be a mash-up of 'clair-' with a misheard echo of olfaction, or simply a word invented to sound French or Latin. At some point, it made sense to someone, or sounded cool, and eventually caught on. I have also never been able to pinpoint exactly when this linguistic concoction was invented, or by whom. So, I prefer the term clairolfaction because it is more precise and linguistically defensible.”
