What does APODAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
zoologytechnical
Having no feet or legs.
Zoologists call a creature apodal when it lacks limbs, as snakes, eels, worm-like lizards and the larvae of many insects do. The term is built from Greek a, without, and pous, a foot. It is also applied to fish with no pelvic fins. In everyday speech people just say legless or footless, so apodal stays in scientific description.
