In botany, describing a flower with petals that are separate and free from one another rather than joined together.
From Greek eleutheros 'free' and petalon 'petal.' Used in botanical classification to describe specific floral arrangements.
When botanists describe a flower as eleutheropetalous, they're saying the petals aren't fused—they're just sitting next to each other, like friends standing together rather than being stuck together.
