Brit.

/pɒmˈpeɪ(iː) ˌwəːm/, U.S.

/pɑmˈpeɪ(i) ˌwərm/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Pompeii , worm n.

Etymology: < the name of Pompeii (see Pompeian n.² and adj.²) + worm n., so named on account of the worm's tolerance of extreme conditions (compare quot. 1980).Earlier currency of the English word is implied by the following:1980 D. Desbruyeres & L. Laubier in Oceanologica Acta 3 268/2 Alvinella pompejana sp. nov. Les scientifiques participant a la campagne Rise, qui ont les premiers observé cette espece, l'ont baptisée ‘Pompeii Worm’ faisant allusion au fait qu'elle supporte en permanence une pluie de particules metalliques.

A tube-dwelling marine polychaete, Alvinella pompejana (family Alvinellidae), found living near hydrothermal vents on the Pacific floor and notable for being able to tolerate very hot, metal-rich environments.

1983 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 301 268 None of the gastrozooids contain any distinct prey fragments, although pieces of polychaete worms, possibly the so-called ‘Pompeii worms’ Alvinella pompejana Desbruyeres and Laubier, 1980, were noted in association with the specimens.

1998 Fortean Times July 16/2 The Pompeii worm, 2–3in (5–7.6cm) long, lives with its tail in water at more than 80°C (176°F).
