  • shadowkeir Iike many a person's Xbox 360, an object said to be pulveratricious (not only objects) is said to be covered in dust. Nov 17, 2008

    The now-defunct Linnean classification pulveratores (Latin pulvereus dusty + -ator, pl) comprised birds so named for their habit of rolling around in the dust to dislodge little bugs stuck in their feathers. Pulveratricious carries 'dust-colored, 'dust-covered,' etc. specifically through meaning 'like birds that roll themselves in dust.'

    I take great pleasure in being able to slip 'bird-like by association' into any one-word description! Jul 7, 2008
