Etymology
'angustiseptal' originates from Latin, specifically the words 'angustus' meaning 'narrow' and 'septum' meaning 'partition,' with the adjectival suffix '-al'.
'angustiseptal' was formed as a New Latin scientific term (compare 'angustiseptalis') and entered modern English botanical terminology as 'angustiseptal'.
Initially, it meant 'having a narrow septum or partition' in technical morphology, and this meaning has remained essentially the same.
