Having the form or shape of a spear or javelin; resembling a lance in shape.
From Latin 'hasta' (spear) + suffix '-form' (having the form of). The '-form' suffix comes from Latin 'forma' and creates descriptive adjectives for shape.
The '-form' suffix is Latin in origin and shows up in scientific terms constantly—'uniform' (one form), 'cruciform' (cross-form), 'hastiform' (spear-form)—making it perfect for technical and descriptive purposes.
