Entomere

/ˈɛntəmɪr/ noun

Definition

A segment or division of an insect's body, particularly relating to its metameric (segmented) structure.

Etymology

From ento- (insect, from Greek entoma) + -mere (part or segment, from Greek meros). This technical term was coined in entomological study to describe the structural units that make up an insect's body plan.

Kelly Says

Entomeres reveal that insects follow a blueprint of repeating segments—kind of like insects are nature's LEGO sets! This segmentation pattern is so fundamental that it appears across arthropods and even influenced how evolutionary biologists understand body plans.
