Having parts, lobes, or segments arranged like fingers radiating from a central point (botanical term).
Compound of 'finger' and 'parted' (from 'part,' Latin 'partire'), describing leaves or structures that are divided into finger-like sections from the 18th century onward.
Fingerparted leaf arrangements like those on Japanese maples aren't random—the number of lobes is genetically determined and actually helps botanists classify and identify plant species instantly.
