Tips: Hirsute is sometimes used to describe plants covered with stiff hairs. It comes from the Latin hirsute, "shaggy." For a memory trick, note how hirsute looks and sounds like "Hair Suit." Some men have so much body hair, they look like they have a hair suit when they take off their shirt. They would be considered hirsute.
