chrysalisn.

Brit.

/ˈkrɪsəlɪs/,

/ˈkrɪsl̩ɪs/, U.S.

/ˈkrɪsələs/

Forms: Plural chrysalides

/krɪˈsælɪdiːz/ or chrysalises /ˈkrɪsəlɪsɪz/; but chrysalids is often substituted; cf. orchids.

Etymology: < Latin chrȳsallis, chrȳsalis, < Greek χρῡσαλλίς ‘the gold-coloured sheath of butterflies’, derivative of χρῡσός gold: compare θρυαλλίς rush-wick, < θρύον a rush. The etymological form has -allis, but this is quite neglected in the modern languages.

1. The state into which the larva of most insects passes before becoming an imago or perfect insect. In this state the insect is inactive and takes no food, and is wrapped in a hard sheath or case.
