Characterized by excessive development of the brain or by an abnormally enlarged brain capacity.
From cerebro- (brain) and -ose (an adjective suffix meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'). This rare medical term combines Latin cerebrum with adjectival formation patterns common in pathological terminology.
Cerebrose was once used to describe people thought to have overdeveloped intellect, reflecting Victorian obsessions with measuring and ranking brains—a practice that conveniently justified social hierarchies.
