Definition
A member of the class Hexapoda; any six-legged arthropod, particularly an insect.
Etymology
From 'hexapod' + '-an' (member of). This noun form parallels the adjectival use, allowing speakers to refer to an individual member of the hexapod group.
Kelly Says
Every hexapodan you see has been shaped by 350 million years of evolution—insects as a group have survived multiple extinction events that wiped out dinosaurs, making them nature's ultimate survivors.
