Plural of adelarthrosome; microscopic or cellular structures observed in certain arthropods or parasites.
From Greek 'adelon' (unseen, unclear) + 'arthron' (joint) + 'soma' (body), literally referring to indistinct or primitive body structures in arthropods.
This term appears rarely in specialized parasitology literature—scientists use it for certain mites and ticks that have unusual or difficult-to-classify body structures compared to typical arthropods.
