Having ten points, dots, or punctures; marked with ten distinct points or spots.
From Latin decem (ten) plus punctatus (having points or dots), from punctum (a point). A rare botanical or zoological term used to describe organisms with exactly ten marked features.
Biologists use hyper-specific words like decempunctate to catalog beetles and plants with extreme precision—imagine trying to identify a ladybug species and needing to know if it has nine or ten spots—the difference matters!
