Morphology

saporous = sapor (transparent) = sapor + ous

The word 'saporous' is transparently derived from 'sapor' with the suffix '-ous' indicating 'full of' or 'having the quality of'.

Etymology

Saporous comes from the Latin root sapor, which means 'taste' or 'flavor'. The same root is in the word savour, so something saporous is full of strong, pleasant taste.
