Having six capsules or pod-like structures, especially used in botany to describe fruit arrangements.
From Greek 'hexa-' (six) combined with Latin 'capsula' meaning small box or container, plus '-ar' meaning relating to. The word emerged from botanical Latin when scientists needed precise terms for fruit structure variations.
Plants sometimes produce fruits in bundles of six, and botanists needed a word that captured exactly that arrangement—so they borrowed from the Roman word for tiny boxes and added the Greek number prefix.
