Bearing or carrying a disk-shaped structure; having a disk-like form.
From Greek discus (disk) + -phorous (bearing). The -ous ending makes it an adjective meaning 'having the quality of bearing.'
This adjective describes the actual body plan—a discophorous organism is literally shaped like it's carrying a disk, which works perfectly for slow ocean drifters.
