Definition
Plural of chela; multiple pincer or claw-like appendages of arthropods.
Etymology
Latin plural form of the Greek-derived 'chela,' following classical scientific naming conventions used in taxonomy and anatomy.
Kelly Says
When a biologist says 'chelae' instead of 'claws,' they're speaking in a 2,000-year-old Greek that still sounds exotic—it's the same form used by Aristotle to describe crustacean anatomy.
