A small basket-shaped structure in botanical or zoological anatomy, singular form of calathidia.
From Greek 'kalathos' (basket) with the Latin neuter diminutive ending '-idium,' used in scientific nomenclature for small basket-like features.
Latin and Greek combining forms are like building blocks—add '-idium' and suddenly your word gets 'cute' in a scientific way, helping researchers talk about tiny versions of bigger structures!
