The genus of giant squid, the largest known squid species, which can reach enormous sizes and inhabit deep ocean waters.
From Greek 'archi-' meaning 'chief' or 'great' and 'teuthis' meaning 'squid,' literally 'chief squid,' named to acknowledge its remarkable size and dominance.
Scientists named the giant squid with 'archi-' to say it was the *greatest* squid—but here's the wild part: they did this in 1857 based on fragmentary pieces washed ashore, and we didn't get a clear photo of a living one until 2004, nearly 150 years later.
