Having small fringes or a fringed appearance; bearing tiny fimbrillae or resembling them in a subtle or delicate way.
From fimbrilla with the suffix -ose meaning 'full of' or 'resembling.' This adjective describes structures with numerous small fringes without necessarily using the more technical term fimbrillate.
Fimbrillose is the softer, more poetic way to say 'covered in tiny fringe-like structures'—scientists use it when they want to sound elegant about microscopic decorative features.
