Relating to or resembling a caruncle; having a small, wart-like or fleshy quality.
From caruncule with the Latin suffix -ous, meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by.' This rare adjectival form emphasizes the caruncular or wart-like quality of something.
This word is so rare that most dictionaries don't even list it, but if a naturalist wanted to say 'that seed looks carunculous,' they'd be describing it like a tiny, fleshy treasure with built-in survival packaging.
