The Word -Ramose

Kolt left without waiting for Yorvet's answer, easily navigating through the ramosed camp, now that he actually had time to figure out the crazy layout that Yorvet had designed. It was much easier now to do so than it had been as a horse. He wasn't tied down to one location at night. Not that you needed to know the location of the cooking tents. Following your nose was just as easy. Especially when the food smelled as nauseating as usual. Honestly, he doubted that the servants at home would give the food they served here to the pigs.

Ramose -consisting of or having branches.

Added Info- The adjective "ramose" is used to describe things that are branched, as in "ramose sponges," "ramose corals," or even "ramose trees." This branching can also be figurative, as in our example sentence. "Ramose" was borrowed from the Latin ramosus ("branched") in the 17th century. In the 15th century, the Latin ramosus had also been borrowed by English, by way of the Middle French rameux, as "ramous," a word nearly indentical in meaning and usage to "ramose." The root of ramosus, the Latin noun ramus ("branch"), is also the source, by way of Medieval Latin ramificare and Middle French ramifier, of the English verb "ramify."
