What does ADNATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botany
Grown together with, or attached along its whole length to, a neighbouring part.
Botanists use adnate to describe organs that appear fused rather than simply touching, such as stamens joined to the petals or a leaf base joined to the stem. Mushroom guides also call gills adnate when they run flush against the stalk instead of standing free of it. The opposite condition, where the parts stay separate, is usually called free.
How ADNATE is used
