Definition
Bearing or producing ribs; characterized by the presence of ribs or rib-like structures.
Etymology
From Latin 'costa' (rib) plus '-ferous' (bearing or producing). A rare botanical or zoological term following the pattern of words like 'pestiferous' or 'carboniferous.'
Kelly Says
The suffix '-ferous' usually describes things that contain valuable materials—'carboniferous' rocks contain coal, 'pestiferous' things carry pests—so 'costiferous' hilariously makes ribs sound like rare resources.
