Hist. 16 395), so named because it constitutes the great majority of sponges.In Sci. Proc. Royal Dublin Soc. 5 (1887) 112 Sollas derives scientific Latin Demospongiae from Greek δεμότηρος , an error for Hellenistic Greek δημότηρος common < ancient Greek δῆμος people (see demos n.) + -τηρος , comparative suffix (also used to express contrast: see other adj.).
