Corymbiferous

/ˌkɔːrɪmˈbɪfərəs/ adjective

Definition

Bearing or producing corymbs; having corymb-shaped flower clusters.

Etymology

From corymb plus Latin -ferous meaning 'bearing' or 'producing.' This suffix appears in words like 'coniferous' (cone-bearing) and 'pestiferous' (plague-bearing).

Kelly Says

The suffix -ferous actually comes from the Roman goddess of grain and agriculture (Ceres), and botanists deliberately chose words with this suffix to indicate fertility and productivity. When they say 'corymbiferous,' they're implicitly saying 'this plant productively makes corymbs'—there's an economic and agricultural history baked into the term.
