Definition
Bearing or producing flagella; having whip-like appendages.
Etymology
From Latin flagellum (whip) + -ferous (suffix meaning 'bearing' or 'carrying'), literally 'whip-bearing.'
Kelly Says
Scientists love this word because it's the precise way to say 'having flagella'—it combines two Latin roots in a way that sounds technical but tells you exactly what something carries.
