In botany, having leaves with sharp or pointed tips; possessing acute or sharply-pointed foliage.
From Latin 'acutus' (sharp) and 'folium' (leaf), combined to describe the characteristic shape of certain plant leaves in botanical nomenclature.
Botanists use compound words like this to paint a picture of a plant without seeing it—'acutifoliate' immediately tells you the leaves come to sharp points, useful for identifying species.
