A plural form (from Latin) of encarpus, referring to multiple fruit or seed structures in botanical terminology.
Plural form of encarpus (from Greek en- + karpos meaning 'fruit'), using Latin masculine plural -i ending.
Ancient botanists used Latin plurals like encarpi because they were writing in Latin, but modern botanists just say 'fruits' or 'carps'—though the formal terms survive in scientific names you'd find on museum specimens.
