'acute-lobed' originates from the combination of 'acute,' meaning 'sharp or pointed,' and 'lobed,' referring to the shape of a leaf or organ.

'Acute' comes from the Latin word 'acutus,' meaning 'sharp,' and 'lobed' is derived from the Latin 'lobus,' meaning 'a rounded projection or division.'

Initially, 'acute' meant 'sharp or severe,' and 'lobed' referred to any rounded projection. Together, they describe a specific leaf shape.
