In anatomy or botany, relating to a position opposite to or contrary to the peduncle, which is the stalk or stem supporting a structure.
From Greek 'anti' (opposite) + Latin 'pedunculus' (a little foot/stem, diminutive of 'pes' meaning foot). A technical term used in biological classification and anatomical description.
Botanical and anatomical Latin terms like 'antipeduncular' seem absurdly specific, but they allowed scientists in the 1700s-1800s to describe plant and animal structures with precision before cameras and microscopes existed!
