Large marine crustaceans with ten legs, including two large claws, often caught for food.
From Old English 'lopuste,' which came from Latin 'locusta' (locust or lobster). The 'lo' prefix is debated, but the connection between locusts and lobsters shows how English borrowed the word from languages describing sea creatures.
Lobsters can live over 100 years and never stop growing—they literally never age like mammals do, molting and regenerating instead, which is why scientists study them to understand aging in humans.
