Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Chrysomela , -id suffix³.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Chrysomela, genus name ( Linnaeus Fauna Suecica (1746)) + -id suffix³, after scientific Latin Chrysomelidae, family name (1858 or earlier).Scientific Latin Chrysomela is apparently < χρυσoμηλ- (in ancient Greek χρυσομηλολόνθιον little golden beetle (Aristophanes) < χρυσo- chryso- comb. form + μηλολόνθη cockchafer (see Melolontha n.) + -ιον, diminutive suffix).
