glaucescence
nounUK /ɡlɔːˈsɛ.səns/ · US /ɡlɑˈkɛ.səns/
Etymology By surface analysis, glaucescent + -ence, though Merriam-Webster presumes a New Latin *glaucēscentia, from New Latin glaucēscēns (“glaucescent”). However, the Missouri Botanical Garden's A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin holds no examples attesting this, instead attesting Latin glaucēdō. By surface analysis, Latin glauc(us) + -escence.
