Having a border, edge, or fringe; in zoology, characterized by a distinct rim or membranous edge.
From Greek kraspedon (border, edge, margin) plus -ote (adjectival suffix). This technical term appears in zoological descriptions of organisms with distinctive marginal structures.
A 'craspedote' organism has a crisp, defined edge—the word is particularly used for jellyfish where the velum (rim) is a crucial feature for movement and feeding.
