What is another word for Spinulose?
Pronunciation: [spˈɪnjʊlˌə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
Spinulose is an adjective used to describe a surface or object that is covered with small prickly projections or spinules. Some synonyms for spinulose include spiny, prickly, thorny, bristly, barbed, and spiky. These words are often used interchangeably, but they can vary in their intensity or connotation. For example, "spiky" typically implies a sharper, more pointed projection, while "bristly" suggests a greater density of slightly shorter projections. "Barbed" is used to describe projections that are hook-shaped, while "thorny" often implies a plant-based source of the projections. Regardless of which term is used, sites that are spinulose can be difficult to touch or interact with, and can pose a danger to sensitive skin and clothing.
