Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Epicarides , -an suffix.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Epicarides, former family name ( P. A. Latreille Familles naturelles du règne animal (1825) 291; later Epicaridea , suborder name; compare French Épicarides (plural noun), in the same source; < epi- epi- prefix + ancient Greek καρίδ- , καρίς shrimp: see Caridea n.) + -an suffix.

Zoology.

A. n.

Any marine isopod crustacean of the suborder Epicaridea, the members of which are specialized as ectoparasites of other crustaceans. Now rare.The taxon Epicaridea is now often regarded as a section of the suborder Cymothoida.

B. adj.

Belonging to the suborder Epicaridea of isopod crustaceans; of or relating to isopods of this suborder.
