Definition
Relating to or on the maternal side of a family; describing relatives through the mother's line; or in botany, relating to outgrowths or enations.
Etymology
From Latin 'en-' + 'natus' (born) + '-ic' (adjective suffix). Used in anthropology for matrilineal relationships and in botany for structures that grow outward.
Kelly Says
The same Latin root gives us both botanical and family meanings: something 'born from' a mother plant (an outgrowth) or born from a mother (maternal relatives)—it's the same concept applied to plants and people.
