Hemignathous

/ˌhɛmɪɡˈneɪθəs/ adjective

Definition

Having an incomplete or partially developed jaw, or having jaws that are asymmetrical.

Etymology

From 'hemi-' (half) + 'gnathous' (having jaws, from Greek 'gnathos'). This anatomical term describes jaw malformations or developmental conditions.

Kelly Says

Some deep-sea fish are hemignathous with jaws that develop completely differently on each side—scientists think this helps them swallow prey larger than their head!
