词源

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.
