Cypselus

/ˈsɪpːsəˌləs/ noun

Definition

A type of dry fruit that splits open along seams to release seeds, found in plants like mustards and poppies.

Etymology

From ancient Greek 'kypse' meaning chest or box. The botanical term was coined to describe the container-like structure of these fruits.

Kelly Says

Ancient Greek merchants stored valuables in boxes called 'kypse,' and scientists thought seed pods worked the same way—nature's boxes for storing the next generation of plants.
