Relating to or describing animals or organisms that lack feet or legs.
From Greek 'apodal-' meaning 'without feet,' derived from 'apous' (footless), used as an adjective form in scientific and biological contexts.
Scientists love using Greek and Latin endings to make new adjectives—adding '-al' to 'apod-' (footless) creates a neat way to describe the characteristic of an entire group of creatures without mentioning them by name.
