Monsteran.

Brit.

/mɒnˈstɪərə/,

/ˈmɒnst(ə)rə/, U.S.

/ˈmɑnstərə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Monstera.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Monstera, genus name ( M. Adanson Familles des plantes (1763) II. 470), further etymology uncertain; perhaps ultimately < classical Latin mōnstrum monster n., with reference to the unusually perforated leaves characteristic of some species; compare -a suffix¹ 1.

A genus of climbing plants (family Araceae) which is native to Central America and characterized by having aerial roots and (frequently) perforated leaves; (also monstera) a plant of this genus, esp. M. deliciosa, the Swiss cheese plant; (also, occasionally) the edible fruit of this plant.
