pomaceous
This term is primarily restricted to botanical and horticultural contexts, serving as a technical descriptor for fruits with a fleshy core containing seeds. It carries a clinical, scientific tone and is rarely encountered in casual conversation, where speakers would simply refer to apple-like fruits.
Because it describes a specific biological category, the word is used to group species like pears, quinces, and medlars together based on their structural morphology rather than just their taste or appearance.
