Eucephalous

/juːˈsɛfələs/ adjective

Definition

Having a well-formed or complete head; a zoological term describing animals with distinct, well-developed head structures.

Etymology

From Greek 'eu' (well) + 'kephalē' (head), literally meaning 'well-headed.' This term appeared in 19th-century zoological descriptions to classify animals by head development.

Kelly Says

Insects are eucephalous with their distinct heads, but jellyfish are basically headless—they just have a mouth-end, which is why jellyfish are so different from nearly all animals we know!
