Epicuticular

/ˌɛpɪkjuːˈtɪkjələr/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or located on the outer surface layer of the cuticle, especially in plants and insects.

Etymology

From Greek 'epi' (upon) + Latin 'cuticularis' (relating to the cuticle). The term emerged in botanical and entomological sciences in the 19th century to describe structures positioned on top of the cuticle.

Kelly Says

Plants and insects have a protective waxy layer called the cuticle, and epicuticular means sitting right on top of it—like how some flowers have a powdery bloom on their petals that you can rub off with your finger.
