Relating to or characterized by the color red, or resembling something that is red in appearance.
Derived from Greek 'erythros' (red) with the English adjectival suffix '-ine.' This combining form is common in scientific English for color-based descriptors.
Erythrine is basically the fancy scientific way to say 'red,' but it's the kind of word that makes naturalists sound poetic when they're describing the sunset-colored plumage of a bird or the scarlet of a mineral.
