A plant with feather-shaped or finely divided leaves; a plant named for its feathery foliage.
Compound of 'feather' and 'leaf,' a descriptive name for plants with delicate, feather-like leaves such as certain ferns or flowering plants.
Plant naming often works like this—people observe the most obvious visual feature and build the name around it. A featherleaf is instantly recognizable once you know the name, because the leaves really do look like feathers.
