Antrorse

/ænˈtrɔːrs/ adjective

Definition

In botany and biology, directed upward or forward; the opposite of retrorse.

Etymology

From Latin 'antrorsum' (forward, toward the front) + Latin 'versus' (turned). This botanical term emerged in the 18th century to precisely describe the direction plant structures point or grow.

Kelly Says

Plant hairs and scales aren't random—scientists realized they all point in specific directions, and 'antrorse' means 'pointing forward' like arrows, helping botanists understand how plants interact with water and insects.
