Definition
Of, relating to, or composed of byssus or the fine thread-like filaments that mollusks produce.
Etymology
From Latin 'byssus' + '-ine' (relating to or resembling). The adjective form developed in biological and zoological texts to describe the material properties and characteristics of mussel attachment threads.
Kelly Says
When scientists describe something as 'byssine,' they're basically saying it's got the same fine, strong, sticky quality as mussel threads—which is actually a compliment in the material science world!
