Covered with or having the quality of hair; hairy or possessing hair-like structures.
From Latin 'crinosus,' derived from 'crinis' (hair) plus the adjectival suffix '-osus' (full of, having much of), meaning literally 'full of hair.'
The '-ose' or '-osus' suffix in Latin-derived words usually means 'full of' or 'characterized by,' so 'crinose' literally means hair-filled or hairy, just as 'verbose' means full of words.
