Relating to or belonging to the gooseberry family of plants (Grossulariaceae).
From Medieval Latin 'grossularia' (gooseberry), from 'grossus' (coarse, thick), referring to the rough texture of gooseberry fruit, plus the botanical suffix '-aceous'.
Gooseberries got their Latin name 'grossularia' because their bumpy skin looks coarse and thick—and now we have an entire fancy botanical term based on that medieval observation!
