Bearing or displaying comb-like structures; characteristic of organisms that possess ctenidia or comb-like appendages.
From 'ctenis' (comb) and '-phorous' (bearing or carrying), literally 'comb-bearing.' This is a more general term than ctenophoric.
This word can apply to many creatures beyond just ctenophores—any animal with visible comb-like structures, from beetles to crustaceans to fish, could be called ctenophorous!
