/lᵻˈɡjuːmᵻnəs/, U.S.

/lᵻˈɡjumənəs/

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin leguminosus (of bread) containing meal from legumes (1363 in Chauliac; compare quot. ?a1425), of or relating to pulse (a1508), (of a plant) that bears legumes or pods (1583 or earlier; frequently in names of plants) < classical Latin legūmin- , legūmen legumen n.¹ + -ōsus -ous suffix.Compare French légumineux (of a plant) that bears legumes (1611 in Cotgrave). With use in sense 2a compare scientific Latin Leguminosae, family name (1710 or earlier).

1. Of or relating to those edible seeds, such as peas, beans, lentils, etc., which are borne in pods and often known as pulse (pulse n.¹ 1); of the nature of or containing pulse.

2. Botany.

a. Of or relating to the large and widely distributed plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae, which comprises peas, beans, and other plants bearing their seeds in legumes or pods (cf. legume n. 3); pod-bearing. Also: designating this family.Plants of this family include many important food crops (e.g. peas, beans, lentils, peanuts, carob) and forage plants (e.g. clover, alfalfa), as well as trees and shrubs such as acacias and mimosas. Many of them have root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The leaves are typically compound and stipulate, the flowers often zygomorphic. Since the early 19th cent., three subfamilies ( Papilionoideae, Caesalpinioideae, and Mimosoideae) have usually been recognized (and sometimes treated as distinct families).
