Definition
A hair-like filament or threadlike structure, especially in botanical or biological contexts.
Etymology
From Latin capillus 'hair' plus the English suffix -ment, which forms nouns indicating a result or product of an action. The -ment suffix emphasizes the structure as something tangible and distinct.
Kelly Says
Under a microscope, capillaments are everywhere—they're the invisible hair-like threads that plants use to absorb water and minerals from soil, which is why roots look fuzzy up close!
