Cotylar

/kəˈtaɪlər/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or resembling a cotyla; cup-shaped or having socket-like characteristics.

Etymology

From cotyla + -ar (adjective-forming suffix). The suffix -ar turns nouns into adjectives describing properties or relationships to that noun.

Kelly Says

The -ar suffix (like in 'lunar,' 'solar,' 'singular') comes from Latin and is one of the most common adjective makers in English, especially in scientific terminology where precision matters.
