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

Etymology: < scientific Latin Xiphosurus, former genus name ( L. J. Fitzinger Neue Classification der Reptilien (1826) 48; < Xiphosura , former genus name ( L. T. Gronovius Zoophylacii gronoviani (1764) II. 220)) + -id suffix³, after scientific Latin Xiphosurida, family name (R. I. Pocock 1902, in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 9 260) and later order or suborder name. Compare xiphosuran adj., xiphosuran n.Compare scientific Latin Xyphosura, former order name of crustaceans ( P. A. Latreille Hist. naturelle, gén. et particulière des crustacés et des insectes (1802) II. 361) and Xiphosura, order name of crustaceans ( P. A. Latreille Genera crustaceorum et insectorum (1806) I. 10).

Zoology.

A. adj.

Designating an arthropod of the chelicerate family Xiphosuridae (also called Limulidae), characterized by a distinctive horseshoe-shaped carapace and a long spine-like telson; of or relating to this family.The horseshoe crab Limulus and its allies are the only extant members.
