Anserous

/ˈæn.sə.rəs/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or resembling geese; goose-like or having goose characteristics.

Kelly Says

While 'anserin' and 'anserine' are used scientifically, 'anserous' is the grander, more poetic way to say something is thoroughly goose-like—think of it as the literary version.
