When I heard this term, I was amazed. I knew of petri being related to earth - from having heard and used a petridish, in school during biology practicals.
Chor by default relates in my mind to thief.
So a petrichor is a thief who steals petri :-)
It started raining this week after a very hot spell. And after the first rain, there is this fresh earthy smell that comes up, when the first drops of rain hit the land. Interestingly, this smell is call petrichor.
Interesting name for an aroma.
