Bushy or shrubby; having a thick, bushy growth pattern like a dumpy shrub.
From Latin 'dumus' (a bush or shrub) plus the English adjective suffix '-ose'. The word is primarily used in botanical descriptions to indicate growth form.
Botanical Latin is hilarious to say out loud—'dumose,' 'hirsute,' 'cordate.' Scientists invented -ose adjectives to precisely describe plant shapes, and some are genuinely fun words!
