rutaceousadj.

Brit.

/ruːˈteɪʃəs/, U.S.

/ruˈteɪʃəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Ruta , -aceous suffix.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Ruta, genus name ( Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) 383) ( < classical Latin rūta rue: see rue n.²) + -aceous suffix, after scientific Latin Rutaceae, family name ( A. L. de Jussieu Genera plantarum (1789) 296). Compare post-classical Latin rutaceus (from 13th cent. in British sources), rutacius (1637 or earlier), both in sense ‘made from rue’ ( > French rutacée, in same sense (1647 in an isolated attestation, subsequently from 1842)), French rutacées, plural noun (1803).

Botany.

Belonging to or characteristic of the Rutaceae, a family of dicotyledonous trees and shrubs often containing aromatic essential oils and compounds in their leaves, fruit, etc., and including the genus Citrus and the type genus Ruta (see rue n.²); (also) designating this family.
