Having the nature of gleba or clods of earth; consisting of or resembling soil or earth.
From Latin 'glebosus' (earthy, full of clods), derived from 'gleba' plus the Latin adjective suffix '-ous,' used in technical descriptions of soil or earth.
The adjective 'glebous' is almost extinct in modern English, surviving mainly in 19th-century soil science texts where it precisely described earth with good cloddy structure for farming.
