Definitions

  1. bursting open with force, as do some ripe seed vessels

Word origin

From Latin dissiliens, dissilientis, present participle of dissilire (“to leap asunder”): dis- + salire (“to leap”).

Used in a sentence

  • a dissilient pericarp/joint
  • We may, however, notice Impàtiens, merely for the purpose of alluding to the dissilient property of its capsules, which, when ripe, burst with such force as to scatter the seeds to a considerable distance around.
