Having limbs or feet characterized by knuckle-like or joint-like structures; relating to animals with prominent joint features in their limbs.
From Greek 'kondylos' (knuckle) and 'pous' (foot) plus the suffix '-ous' (having the quality of). This is a rare anatomical or zoological term.
This technical term describes physical features you can actually see—it's the kind of word paleontologists use when they're examining fossils and noticing which animals have similar joint structures in their feet.
