Having the characteristics of a diplopod; possessing double feet or the double-footed arrangement typical of millipedes.
From Diplopoda with the suffix -ous, an older adjectival form used interchangeably with diplopodic. Both forms appeared in 19th-century natural history texts describing millipede anatomy.
While diplopodic is more common in modern science, diplopodous survives in older naturalist writings and shows how the same concept can be named different ways—like how people say 'bacteria' or 'bacterium' to mean similar things but with different roots.
