📣 word of the week 📣
Cymotrichous (adjective) means:

> Having wavy hair.

It comes from the Greek roots:

"kyma" (κῦμα) meaning wave

"thrix/trichos" (θρίξ/τρίχος) meaning hair

So, cymotrichous literally translates to "wavy-haired."

Example in a sentence:

> The portrait depicted a cymotrichous figure with cascading locks that framed her face like ocean waves.

It’s a very rare word, often found in older or scientific/literary contexts—especially in descriptions of hair types.
