glaucescence

== English == === Etymology === By surface analysis, glaucescent +‎ -ence, though Merriam-Webster presumes a New Latin *glaucēscentia, from New Latin glaucēscēns (“glaucescent”). However, the Missouri Botanical Garden's A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin holds no examples attesting this, instead attesting Latin glaucēdō. By surface analysis, Latin glauc(us) +‎ -escence. === Pronunciation === (UK) IPA(key): /ɡlɔːˈsɛ.səns/ (US) IPA(key): /ɡlɑˈkɛ.səns/ === Noun === glaucescence (countable and uncountable, plural glaucescences) (chiefly biology) The quality of being glaucescent, the state of being a bluish-green color. ==== Translations ==== === References ===
