but you forgot torrid, and I think that it's a nice word.

Here're some more: pallid, sordid, candid, sapid, rapid, hairdid (I like to combine those words; look in the Urban Dictionary. Wonder if you could use it as an adjective:), squalid, and valid.

Don't forget caryatid...

Being a noun, caryatid doesn't fit the list, but turgid would be a nice addition...

placid and flaccid. Oh, and stupid and putrid.

Here's one to redeem my blunder: splendid.

Solid, liquid. The third member of the "states of matter" trio should be "vapid", but curiously it's never used literally nowadays, if it ever was. Tepid, rigid, gelid.

Which _id adjectives form their noun as _or (sometimes _our in British-English) and which as _idity? And which both, possibly with different meanings? Stupor is a physical condition, stupidity mental. Rigo(u)r (as a mental habit) is generally seen as a good trait; rigidity (in a similar sense) is usually regarded as bad.

Savour => sapid?

liu_xing commented on the list adjectives-ending-in-id
Langour, splendour, pallor, candour, horror. Liquor?

Feel free to pilfer from my list exploring-the-i-id-i. (No idea why I have to add -i to the name of the list to make the link work!)

"He had mistakenly put the whisky in the freezer and it was a day before it once again achieved liquor." Did "liquor" ever mean "the state of being liquid"? And why not "solo(u)r?"

is it cheating to use z*id in the search terms to find odd words like zebroid xiphoid

Well yes, liu_xing "savo(u)r is connected with "sapid" in that they both come from the Latin sapidus (tasty); but sapid was brought into English directly and savour came by way of French. So savour developed its own adjective, savoury and sapid its own noun, sapidity.
Mind you, the stupor/stupid pair have done that too - noun stupidity, adjective stuporous.

One of the most interesting things about "sapid" (rarely used these days) is that its opposite is the much more common "insipid". The only other adjective I can think of where a negative prefix changes the vowel is apt/ inept. Perhaps we should start a new thread with examples of this phenomenon.
