Meaning of "nasiform" in English

The word "nasiform" derives from the Latin roots "nasi-" meaning "relating to the nose" and "-form," meaning "shape." It describes an object, structure, or feature that resembles the shape or form of a nose. This term is often used in anatomy or descriptive biology to characterize objects that have a nose-like appearance. Although not frequently encountered in everyday language, it serves as a precise descriptor in specialized fields. For example, a nasiform protrusion might refer to a rock formation that resembles the shape of a nose.
