A Latin plural or scientific term, possibly used in taxonomic nomenclature to indicate something from China or Chinese origin.
From Latin 'chinensis,' meaning 'of China,' used in scientific naming; the '-es' is a Latin plural ending common in biological nomenclature.
Scientists use Latin for naming organisms so that a plant discovered in China might be called 'Sinensis chinensis' and understood worldwide—it's the universal language of nature!
