Definition
A protective sheath or case that encloses the reproductive organs of certain hydrozoans (tiny ocean animals).
Etymology
From Greek 'gonia' (angle, reproductive organ) and 'theke' (case, sheath). The term was coined in the 19th century to describe structures observed in marine colonial organisms.
Kelly Says
Scientists named this tiny structure using ancient Greek words, revealing how biologists constantly borrowed from classical languages to describe discoveries—it's like they were creating a universal scientific language using old words in new ways.
