Brit.

/əˈsɪkjᵿlə/, U.S.

/əˈsɪkjələr/

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin acicularis of or relating to pins (1638 or earlier) < acicula acicula n. + classical Latin -āris -ar suffix¹. Compare post-classical Latin acicularius (a1519 in a British source). Compare later acicula n.

Chiefly Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Botany.

Esp. of crystals and leaves: needle-shaped; long and slender.
