Angulinerved

/æŋˈɡjuːlɪnɜːrvd/ adjective

Definition

Having veins or nerves that run in angular patterns or form sharp angles rather than curves.

Etymology

From Latin 'angulus' (angle) combined with 'nervus' (nerve or vein). This botanical term describes the venation pattern in leaves where the vessels form distinct angular pathways rather than smooth curves.

Kelly Says

If you look closely at some leaves, you'll see their veins aren't smoothly curved—they bend at sharp angles like they're trying to make geometric art, which is exactly what angulinerved describes!
