Acidophilic

/ˌæsɪdəˈfɪlɪk/ adjective

Definition

Having an affinity for or characteristic of organisms or cells that prefer acidic conditions.

Etymology

From acidophile + -ic (suffix forming adjectives). Medical and biological term describing the staining properties of cells and living preference of organisms.

Kelly Says

When doctors examine tissue samples, acidophilic regions glow pink, revealing which cells are working hard—they're essentially looking at the body's overachievers.
