Carpopoditic

/ˌkɑːrpoʊpəˈdɪtɪk/ adjective

Relating to or resembling a carpopodite, or describing structures connected to the wrist-like region of crustacean legs.

From 'carpopodite' + '-ic' (relating to). This adjectival form allowed 19th-century zoologists to describe features as 'carpopoditic' rather than constantly saying 'of or relating to the carpopodite.'
