Corniculate, an Anglicisation of the Latin diminutives corniculata, corniculatum, and corniculatus, describes an object possessing hornlike extensions. The root is Latin cornu = "horn". The term is used to describe the shape of the corniculate cartilages of the larynx. The Horned Puffin (Fratercula corniculata) is named for its distinctive horn-like coloration. Likewise Oxalis corniculata (Creeping Woodsorrel) is named for its two erect capsules, which resemble little horns, and the Bird's-foot Trefoil Lotus corniculatus and Goat's Horn Mangrove Aegiceras corniculatum are named for their horn-shaped fruits.
