Forms: Also glyptodont.
Etymology: modern Latin, < Greek γλυπτός sculptured + ὀδοντ-, ὀδούς tooth.According to ordinary rules for the formation and latinization of Greek compounds, the modern Latin nominative should be *glyptodūs (compare πολυόδους many-toothed). The ending -odon (compare mastodon, etc.) was inferred from the oblique cases.
An extinct South American quadruped allied to the armadillos, of the size of an ox, covered with a solid carapace, and having fluted teeth.
