Producing, giving off, or resembling smoke; smoky in appearance or quality.
From Latin 'fumaceus,' derived from 'fumus' (smoke) plus the adjective suffix '-aceous.' The word emphasizes the smoky or smoke-like quality of something.
The '-aceous' suffix comes from Latin and is used in science to mean 'of or resembling,' which is why plants like Rosaceae smell rosy—it's a way of saying 'having the nature of' in one elegant suffix.
