Herbous

/ˈhɜːrbəs/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, consisting of, or relating to herbs; herbaceous or grass-like in nature.

Etymology

From Latin 'herbosus' via Old French 'herbeux,' using the suffix '-ous' meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by.' An alternative form to 'herbose' with similar meaning and origin.

Kelly Says

The distinction between 'herbous' plants and woody plants was crucial to early botanists organizing the plant kingdom—it's one of the first ways people learned to sort nature!
