A family of plants that includes various herbs and small shrubs, some species of which are used in traditional medicine.
From 'cynocrambe' (a plant genus) plus '-aceae' (the standard botanical suffix for plant families). The botanical classification system created this family name in the 18th-19th centuries.
The '-aceae' suffix is so standardized that botanists can instantly recognize any word ending in it as a plant family—it's like a universal password in the plant kingdom!
