vermicular

English

Adjective

vermicular (comparative more vermicular, superlative most vermicular)

Of, pertaining to, or having the form of a worm; vermiculate
- 1785, Thomas Cowper, The Task
  At length a generation more refined
  Improved the simple plan; made three legs four,
  Gave them a twisted form vermicular,
  And o’er the seat, with plenteous wadding stuff’d,
  Induced a splendid cover, green and blue,
  Yellow and red, of tapestry richly wrought
  And woven close, or needlework sublime.
