Somewhat bell-shaped or having qualities resembling a bell in form; partially or loosely campanulate.
From Latin 'campanula' (small bell) plus '-ous', a suffix meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by', creating an adjective suggesting campanulate qualities without full commitment to the form.
The '-ous' suffix is Latin's way of saying 'kind of' or 'having the nature of'—so 'campanulous' means bell-ish but not perfectly bell-shaped, which perfectly matches how nature rarely fits textbook definitions.
