Definition
Of, relating to, or resembling a gland or glandular tissue.
Etymology
From Greek 'aden' (gland) plus the suffix '-ous' (full of), a direct medical adjective meaning gland-like or gland-containing.
Kelly Says
This simple adjective appears constantly in medical literature but almost never in everyday language, showing how specialized terminology creates a hidden vocabulary that doctors and scientists use to communicate precisely about anatomy.
