Having the shape or characteristics of a bulb; swollen or rounded like a bulb.
From Latin 'bulbosus' (bulb-shaped), derived from 'bulbus' (bulb), an ancient word possibly borrowed from Greek 'bolbos.'
This word is a botanical term that painters and writers love because it's much more evocative than just saying 'bulb-shaped'—Victorian naturalists used it to describe everything from flower parts to the weird swollen roots of certain plants.
