caseous \KEY-see-uhs\ adjective 1. of or like cheese. Quotes The pecorino I am now eating spent its early days on shelves… After that formative experience in the caseous equivalent of Purgatory it was gently reawakened by being carried back into the warmth and light of the upper world, where it acquired the label 'Grottino' and in due course found its way onto Sampler's luncheon table. -- James Hamilton-Paterson, Amazing Disgrace, 2006 Origin Caseous comes from the Latin word cāse, which means "cheese." The suffix -ous forms adjectives that have the general sense "possessing, full of" a given quality, as in the word nervous.
