Having gills or respiratory organs located on or near the head.
From Greek 'kephale' (head) + 'branchia' (gills), combining medical terminology to describe anatomical features. The suffix '-ate' indicates a state or condition of possessing this feature.
This word reveals how ancient Greek anatomists grouped creatures by where their gills were positioned—a key insight that helped classify everything from fish to bizarre sea creatures scientists keep discovering in the deep ocean.
