Located or occurring outside the calyx (cup-shaped part) of a flower or kidney.
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'calyx' (from Greek 'kalyx', meaning husk or covering). The suffix '-icular' indicates relation or smallness. Term developed in botanical and anatomical contexts.
Flowers have protective cup-shaped coverings called calyxes—extracalicular means beyond that protective boundary, in the exposed parts of the flower.
