Etymology of GUTTIFEROUS

The word "guttiferous" derives from the combination of two Latin roots: "guttā" meaning "drop" and "ferō" meaning "to bear" or "to carry". The term evolved from the Latin phrase "guttifer" which referred to trees or plants that produce a resinous or gummy secretion often in the form of drops. Over time, the term "guttifer" transformed into "guttiferus" in Latin, and eventually into "guttiferous" in English.
