monocarpicadj.

Brit.

/ˌmɒnə(ʊ)ˈkɑːpɪk/, U.S.

/ˌmɑnəˈkɑrpɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: monocarp n., -ic suffix.

Etymology: < monocarp n. + -ic suffix, perhaps after French monocarpique ( A. P. de Candolle & J. B. P. A. Lamarck Flore française (1805) I. 222). Compare earlier monocarpous adj., slightly later monocarpian adj., and also polycarpic adj.

Botany.
