Having a broad, flattened skull shape; a variant form of chamecephalic used in anthropological descriptions.
From Greek 'chamae' (low) plus 'kephalos' (head) with the suffix '-ous' forming adjectives. This is an alternative form of 'chamecephalic' with slightly different suffix usage.
The suffix '-ous' (meaning 'full of' or 'having') appears in words from Latin-Greek hybrid vocabulary—'chamecephalous' sounds more technical than 'chamecephalic' precisely because '-ous' makes scientific terms sound more official and authoritative.
