Feeding on or eating leaves and fronds, especially describing animals that consume plant foliage as their primary diet.
From Latin 'fronds' (leaf, frond) combined with '-vorous' (from Latin 'vorare,' meaning to devour). The term was constructed in scientific contexts to describe herbivorous feeding habits.
Many dinosaurs like the long-necked sauropods were frondivorous megaherbivores that could strip entire trees of leaves—some grew so massive partly because Mesozoic plants couldn't evolve defenses fast enough!
