Etymology
From Latin nebula (“little cloud, mist”), though the first sense ("a decorative wavy pattern", as a noun) is perhaps a misunderstanding of the adjective nebulé (“wavy”).
noun
- A decorative wavy or curly pattern; moulding of an undulating or wavy form.
- A single dose intended to be taken using a nebulizer.e.g.“For exaample, leachables from glues used to apply labels to the outer wraps of nebule formulations were being found inside the nebule formulation.” — 2012, Douglas J.
