Etymology, please.
Wet with dew. Hmmm. And frozen dew is hoar frost.
Hmmm. And that has an "or" sound in it.
Any connection between the "or" in roriferous and the "oar" in hoar frost?

When I went to look for etymology of "hoar" I got mostly garbage. Essentially meant white or gray as in hair of old person.

the worthless word for the day [Mar 13 '2002] is: rorifluent [rare] flowing with dew (Johnson, 1755) from L. roris, dew + fluere, to flow
edit: likewise, roriferous - L. rorifer; ros, roris, dew + ferre to bear: cf. F. rorif[`e]re.
