Having well-developed cilia (hair-like structures used for movement or feeding in cells and organisms).
From Greek 'eu-' (well, good) + 'cilium' (eyelash-like structure) + '-ate' (adjective suffix). The term emphasizes organisms with functional, properly-formed cilia.
Euciliate organisms like paramecia are living demonstrations of molecular engineering—their cilia beat in synchronized waves, 9,000 times per minute, powered by proteins alone!
