Growing outward or extending from a surface; in botany, describing structures that grow out from a plant.
From Latin 'en-' (in, into) + 'natus' (born, produced). Describes things produced from or growing out of a base structure, used in botanical and biological contexts.
When a plant structure is 'enate,' it's literally born from or growing out of the surface—thorns on a rose stem are enate structures, growing directly from the stem tissue itself.
