Relating to or characterized by the hair; of or pertaining to hair.
From Latin crinis (hair) plus the adjectival suffix -al, creating a simple adjective form that means 'of or relating to hair.'
Latin-based medical and anatomical terminology often has multiple adjective forms for the same root—'crinital,' 'crinose,' and 'pilose' all mean related to hair, but only 'pilose' has survived in common scientific use, while the others remain as alternative historical forms.
