Smooth and hairless, especially used in biology to describe plant or animal surfaces without hairs or ridges.
From Latin 'glaber' (smooth, hairless) plus English suffix '-ous.' Related to 'glabella' and used in botanical and zoological descriptions.
Botanists use 'glabellous' to describe leaves without fuzz or hairs—seemingly boring, but a plant's texture tells scientists what climate and environment it evolved in!
