Origin of flocculent There is no Latin adjective flocculentus, but the English adjective flocculent is formed from Latin elements: the noun floccus “tuft of wool” (of unknown etymology) and, by extension, “something insignificant,” and the adjective suffix -ulentus “full of, abundant in.” Latin floccus is the source of English flock (tuft of wool or cloth), flocking (fine, powdered wool or cloth for decorating wallpaper), and flocked (e.g., wallpaper).
