Definition

Bearing or producing coccules; having small berry-like or rounded structures.

Etymology

From coccule plus -ferous (bearing, from Latin ferre to carry). The term describes things that produce or contain coccules.

Kelly Says

This word perfectly shows how Latin root systems work in English—each part (coccule=small berry, ferous=bearing) stacks together like words building into complex scientific meaning.
