Etymology of CACUMINOUS

The word "cacuminous" derives from the Latin term "cacuminōsus", which is formed by combining the Latin words "cacumen" meaning "top" or "summit" and the suffix "-ōsus" indicating "full of" or "abounding in". Thus, "cacuminōsus" can be understood as "full of peaks" or "having many summits". Over time, this Latin term was adopted into English, and the spelling evolved to form the modern word "cacuminous".
