Relating to or belonging to an anther, the part of a flower that produces pollen.
From Greek 'anthera' (flower) + Latin suffix '-al' (relating to). The Greek root comes from 'anthos' meaning flower, which has been used in botanical terminology since the 17th century.
The word 'antheral' sits at the intersection of ancient Greek and modern science—botanists borrowed a 2,000-year-old word for 'flower' to describe the microscopic reproductive structures inside flowers that didn't have names when Greek was spoken.
