Relating to, containing, or resembling glands; having the nature of glandular tissue.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + '-ose' (full of, containing). The '-ose' suffix is Latin-influenced and means 'characterized by' or 'containing,' similar to 'verbose' or 'adipose.'
'Adenose' tissue would be tissue that's rich in glands, but this word is surprisingly rare in modern medicine—most doctors would say 'glandular' instead, which suggests that even medical terminology prefers simpler, shorter words when they work just as well.
