anemious - adj., growing in windy conditions.


This is one of a handful of words that have all five vowels once and only once, in alphabetical order -- others being abstemious (sparing), acheilous (lipless), annelidous (wormlike), arsenious (containing trivalent arsenic), caesious (bluish-gray), and facetious (not serious). From Greek anemos, wind.
