Endocorpuscular

/ˌɛndoʊkɔːrˈpʌskjʊlər/ adjective

Definition

Relating to structures or processes occurring within corpuscles or small cellular bodies.

Etymology

From endo- + corpuscular (from Latin corpusculum, 'small body'). This biological term describes phenomena inside blood cells, bacteria, or other minute structures.

Kelly Says

Blood cells are often called corpuscles, so 'endocorpuscular' might describe processes happening inside your red blood cells—scientists use this term when they need to specify 'within the cell' at a very specific scale.
