Cut or divided around the edges; having a circumscribed cut or separation.
From Latin circumscissus, combining circum- (around) and scissus (cut, from scindere, to cut). An archaic or technical botanical term.
In botany, circumsciss describes seed pods that open by splitting all the way around their edge—like when a poppy seed head falls off in one clean circle rather than spilling seeds from a hole.
