MORE GLABROUS Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "more glabrous" refers to an increase in the smoothness, fineness, or lack of hair or other external appendages on a particular surface or organism. Glabrous itself describes something that is free from hair or has a smooth appearance. It is often used to describe the texture or condition of plant leaves, stems, or animal skin. When used in the comparative form, "more glabrous" indicates a further reduction or absence of hair or roughness compared to a reference point.
The term finds its roots in the Latin word "glaber," meaning "bald" or "smooth," and has been incorporated into the realm of biology and botany. In the context of plant morphology, a more glabrous leaf, for example, would possess a decreased quantity of trichomes (hair-like structures) or lack them altogether. This descriptor can also be employed to describe animal features, such as a more glabrous skin indicating a reduced amount of fuzz or fur cover, leading to a sleek and smooth appearance.
The usage of "more glabrous" allows for a comparative analysis of various levels of smoothness, baldness, or hairlessness. It encompasses a range from slightly less hirsute to completely devoid of hair, presenting a nuanced way to discuss tactile or visual qualities as important characteristics of an organism or structure.
