Lacking hair; without a hairy covering, usually used in botanical or zoological contexts to describe smooth surfaces.
From Greek 'a-' (without) combined with 'kome' (hair), plus '-ous' suffix, creating an adjective for things naturally lacking hair.
Botanists use 'acomous' to describe plants without hair-like structures, like certain smooth-leaved species, while 'hairy' plants are 'comous'—it's the precise language scientists need to describe plant texture.
