Arborous

/ˈɑɹbərəs/ adjective

Definition

Covered with or abounding in trees; having the characteristics of trees or forests.

Etymology

From Latin 'arbor' (tree) with the English suffix '-ous' (full of, characterized by), creating an adjective that describes landscapes or regions dominated by tree growth.

Kelly Says

This is an older, poetic way to describe a forest landscape—you might read it in Victorian nature writing, and it perfectly captures that sense of being surrounded by a canopy of branches above you.
