Axonophorous

/ˌæksəˈnɑfərəs/ adjective

Definition

Bearing, carrying, or characterized by axons or axon-like structures; possessing axons.

Etymology

From Greek 'axon' + 'phoros' (bearing), with the English adjective suffix. It describes anything that carries or bears axons.

Kelly Says

Calling something 'axonophorous' is essentially saying 'this thing has nerves'—and when you think about it, that's one of nature's greatest distinctions between living things that respond to their environment and those that don't.
