Definition
Relating to or derived from cucurbits; having the nature or characteristics of gourd-family plants.
Etymology
From Cucurbita plus the suffix -ine (relating to or composed of), a Latin adjectival ending often used for botanical and chemical properties.
Kelly Says
Cucurbitine compounds in seeds—especially pumpkin seeds—contain antimicrobial properties that protect the seed from fungi and bacteria, showing how plants literally weaponize chemistry.
