An alternative form of enantioblastic; relating to opposite or contrary growth patterns in crystals or biological structures.
From Greek 'enantios' (opposite) + 'blastous' (growing, from 'blastos' meaning sprout). This is a variant form using '-ous' instead of '-ic' to describe the same phenomenon of opposing growth patterns.
English loves giving scientists multiple ways to say the same thing—you'll see both 'enantioblastic' and 'enantioblastous' in older scientific texts, showing how terminology hasn't always been standardized across languages.
