Etymology
Fetidly comes from the Latin word fetidus, from fētere, which means 'to stink', so to do something fetidly is to do it in a very bad-smelling way. Think of a rotten smell to remember it, and this image also helps when people use the word for bad ideas or actions that 'stink' but are not really about smell.
