Having or resembling cirri; characterized by having thread-like or hair-like appendages or structures.
From Latin 'cirrosus,' derived from 'cirrus' (curl, ringlet, tendril). The suffix '-ous' makes it an adjective meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by' cirri.
Sea creatures with cirrhous appendages are often among the most beautiful in the ocean—imagine a tiny worm or crustacean with hundreds of delicate feathery tentacles fanned out in a crown shape, filtering food from the water column with elegant, constant motion.
