An animal or organism that lacks feet or legs; a member of the apodal group.
From Greek 'apous' (without feet) plus the noun suffix '-an,' indicating an organism or individual belonging to a footless category.
This word shows how English borrows heavily from Greek to create specific scientific terms—the suffix '-an' lets us turn an adjective describing a trait into a noun naming the thing that has it.
