Agamae

/əˈɡɑːmiː/ noun

Definition

Plural form of agama; multiple lizards of the agama genus or family.

Etymology

Standard Latin plural form of 'agama', using the '-ae' ending common in scientific nomenclature for taxonomic plurals.

Kelly Says

In scientific naming, 'agamae' represents how scientists adopted Latin conventions to create universal terms that work across all languages — a biologist in Japan and one in Brazil can use the same Latin plural and understand each other perfectly!
