aphisn.

/ˈafɪs/

Forms: Plural aphides /ˈæfɪdiːz/.

Etymology: modern Latin (Linnæus); of unknown etymology. A number of conjectures are offered in Buckton's Monograph of Brit. Aphides, the least improbable being that the plural is for Greek ἀϕειδεῖς plural of ἀϕειδής ‘unsparing, lavishly bestowed’ (? in reference to their prodigious rate of production, or to their voracity), and the singular formed on it in imitation of orchis, orchides, chrysalis, caryatis, etc. The quantity of the i with Linnæus is unknown; it is now made short.

A family of minute insects, also called plant-lice, which are very destructive to vegetation. They are prodigiously prolific, multiplying through the summer by parthenogenesis; they form the food of lady-birds, and are tended by ants for the honeydew which they yield, whence sometimes called ant-cows.
