Swimming or floating outward; swimming away or moving toward the outside; in botany, describing leaves or structures extending outward.
From Latin 'en-' + 'natans' (swimming, floating), from 'natare' (to swim). Botanical and biological term for movement or orientation away from center.
In botany, when leaves are described as 'enatant,' they're swimming outward from the stem—the Latin root 'nat' means to swim, so leaves are literally described as if they're doing the backstroke away from the plant.
