Definitions and meaning of palmate

palmate

Etymology

From Latin palmātus (“hand-shaped”), by extension (as palma acquired the meaning "palm tree"), "palm-leaf shaped".

Adjective

palmate (not comparable)

  1. (chiefly botany) Having three or more lobes or veins arising from a common point.
    Although palmate leaves are typical of most Western maples, a number of species have leaves without lobes.
  2. (botany, of leaves) Having more than three leaflets arising from a common point, often in the form of a fan.
  3. (rare) Having webbed appendage; palmated.
    The Palmate Newt is a common Western European amphibian.
  4. (rare) Hand-like; shaped like a hand with extended fingers

Usage notes

  • The word is rare outside of technical writing, and hardly ever qualifies things other than leaves.
  • A compound leaf with more than three leaflets (trifoliate) radiating from the same point is more usually called palmate or palmately compound to avoid ambiguity.
  • While "palmated" is a more usual term when referring to webbed appendages, "palmate" is often found in zoological nomenclature as the Latin term for both meanings is palmatus.
