Having the quality or characteristic of a drupe; drupe-like in form or structure.
From Latin drupa plus -ose, a suffix meaning 'full of' or 'having the nature of.' Similar formations include 'verbose' (full of words) and 'grandiose' (having grandeur).
The -ose suffix is like a scientific volume knob—grandiose means 'extremely grand,' verbose means 'extremely wordy,' and drupose means 'extremely drupe-like,' which is why this suffix appears in so many fancy scientific and ordinary English words.
