Definition
Plural of flagellum; multiple whip-like structures on cells used for movement.
Etymology
From flagellum (Latin for whip) + -s (English plural), though 'flagella' is the more traditional Latin plural.
Kelly Says
Biologists debate whether to say 'flagella' (proper Latin plural) or 'flagellums' (English plural)—it's a tiny linguistic turf war showing how English and Latin compete in scientific language.
