Definition
The botanical family name for maple trees and related plants, including the genera Acer and similar woody plants.
Etymology
From Latin 'acer' (maple tree) + '-aceae' (the standard taxonomic suffix for plant families). This scientific naming follows Linnaean classification conventions established in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
Aceraceae is why your biology textbook has weird Latin names—the maple tree was so important to ancient Romans that its name became the permanent scientific family name, and it's been standardized in botany for 300 years.
