/ˈɛn(t)əroʊˌ(p)n(j)ust/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Enteropneusta.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Enteropneusta, class name ( C. Gegenbaur Grundzüge der vergl. Anatomie (1870) 158 as Enteropneusti ; < ancient Greek ἔντερον intestine (see enteron n.) + -πνευστος (see -pneustic comb. form). Compare earlier enteropneustal adj.

Zoology.

A. n.

Any of various worm-like hemichordates constituting the class Enteropneusta, having an acorn-shaped proboscis, a collar, and a long trunk, inhabiting U-shaped burrows in marine sediments; an acorn worm.A characteristic anatomical feature of enteropneusts is the presence of gill slits in the pharynx (the upper part of the digestive tract).
