fenestrated

Pierced with holes

Fenestrated means having openings or perforations, like windows.

The term appears in architecture for walls with window-like openings, and in medicine and biology for structures with holes or pores: fenestrated capillaries, a fenestrated surgical drape.

A fenestrated leaf has natural holes in it.

The root is the Latin word for window.
