Growing or adhering to something; attached by natural growth or development.
From Latin adnascens (growing onto), from adnascere (to grow toward). The -ent suffix marks this as a present participle adjective in Latin-derived English.
Adnascent is the technical term biologists use for when two normally separate structures grow together naturally—like how some mutations cause bones to fuse during growth.
