Relating to or resembling sand; sandy in nature or composition; covered with or composed of sand.
From Latin 'arenosus' meaning 'sandy,' derived from 'arena' (sand, especially sand used in arenas). The adjective 'arean' is rarely used in modern English, with 'sandy' being far more common.
The word 'arena' comes from the same Latin root as 'arean'—ancient Roman amphitheaters were called arenas because they were covered with sand to soak up blood and make the ground less slippery.
