Of or relating to a fulcrum; having the nature or function of a support or prop.
From Latin 'fulcrum' with the suffix '-aceous' (having the quality of), literally meaning 'having the quality of being a fulcrum or support.'
This obscure adjective represents scientific precision—rather than saying 'like a fulcrum,' botanists and anatomists created 'fulcraceous' to describe any structure that functionally acts as a support point in biological systems.
