Relating to or resembling the epiglottis; using a more technical or archaic adjective form.
From epiglottis + -idean (variant adjectival suffix). This is an older, more elaborate form compared to modern epiglottic.
This is the kind of word found in really old medical textbooks—modern doctors usually just say 'epiglottic' because epiglottidean sounds so fancy and elaborate!
