Definition
A genus name in taxonomy referring to a group of organisms; sometimes used as a feminine adjective form in scientific Latin.
Etymology
From Greek 'abyssos' (without bottom), used in scientific nomenclature to indicate organisms found in extremely deep oceanic zones.
Kelly Says
Scientists love naming deep-sea creatures with 'abyssa' in their names—it's the Latinized version of 'abyss' that makes sea creatures sound officially mysterious and deep!
