pisiform (PEYE-suh-fawrm) - adj., resembling a pea in shape or size.


And not resembling a fish, which is pisciform. Sometimes a C is important (such as when it stands for cookie). From New Latin pisiformis, from Latin pīsum, pea + -formis, -form/shape of. (Pīsum btw is also the ancestor of pea, via Old English.)
