Of, relating to, or of the nature of a calyx; resembling or pertaining to flower sepals.
From Latin 'calyx' with the adjectival suffix '-ine', meaning 'of or belonging to the calyx'.
When something is 'calycine,' it's basically wearing a sepals costume—it has that protective cup-like structure even if it's not technically a flower!
