Definition
Containing, producing, or bearing coral.
Etymology
From Latin 'corallium' (coral) plus Latin '-fer' (carrying, bearing) plus '-ous' (full of). The '-ferous' suffix comes directly from the Latin '-ferus' meaning 'bearing or carrying.' This pattern is common in scientific terminology since the 1700s.
Kelly Says
The '-ferous' suffix appears in many scientific terms like 'aquiferous' and 'carboniferous,' and it literally means 'bearing or carrying'—so 'coralliferous' describes rock formations that literally carry coral within them, like coral-bearing limestone.
