Bearing or carrying wings; winged or wing-bearing in form or structure.
From Latin 'ala' (wing) + '-gerous' (from 'gerere' meaning to carry or bear). This is a variant form of aliferous, both using Latin roots to describe something that carries wings.
Latin gave us dozens of ways to say 'carries wings'—aliferous, aligerous, alate—because ancient Romans studied insects obsessively. These overlapping terms show how language evolves with specialization.
