'adesmy' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'adesmos,' where 'a-' meant 'without' and 'desmos' meant 'bond' or 'connection.'

'adesmos' transformed into the modern English word 'adesmy' through scientific Latin.

Initially, it meant 'without a bond or connection,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'absence of a part, especially a floral organ.'
