Definition
A taxonomic group or condition characterized by having two wings or double-winged appendages.
Etymology
From Greek diplo- (double) and pterón (wing). The term was historically applied to insects and other organisms with symmetrical paired wings or wing-like structures.
Kelly Says
Many insects are called 'diplopteran' because they have two pairs of wings (four total), but here's the twist—flies have only one pair of wings and use modified second wings called halteres to stabilize their acrobatic flying, so evolution sometimes abandons diploptera for something even better!
