vasculated
|vas-cu-late-d|
/ˈvæskjʊleɪt/
(vasculate)
supplied with vessels
Etymology
'vasculate' originates from New (Modern) Latin, ultimately from Latin 'vasculum' (diminutive of 'vas') meaning 'small vessel', with the adjectival/verb-forming suffix '-ate' indicating 'to make or to provide with'.
'vasculum' in Latin (meaning 'small vessel') gave rise to forms in New Latin such as 'vasculatus/vasculare'; these were adopted into scientific English as the verb 'vasculate' and the adjective 'vasculated' in modern medical and biological usage.
Initially related to the noun meaning 'small vessel', the term evolved into a verb meaning 'to furnish or develop vessels' and an adjective meaning 'having vessels' (used especially in anatomy and histology).
