An obscure or specialized taxonomic term; its exact meaning is uncertain in general usage.
Likely a scientific Latin neologism, possibly from Greek 'kompos' (orderly arrangement) and a Latin ending, used in biological or paleontological classification.
This word appears to be so specialized that even comprehensive dictionaries have trouble defining it—it may be a mistake, a very niche scientific term, or a historical variant of another scientific name that never caught on, which reminds us that the scientific canon contains thousands of forgotten taxonomic attempts.
