Plural of coeticola; inhabitants or dwellers of the sky or heaven (primarily poetic or mythological usage).
From Latin coelum (heaven) + -colae (dwellers, inhabitants). This learned plural form follows classical Latin grammar patterns used in poetic and mythological contexts.
In ancient Roman mythology and poetry, the coelicolae were the dwellers of heaven—basically the gods and celestial beings—and the word is constructed exactly like 'agricolae' (farmers) in Latin.
