Forms: 1900s– arthropodisation, 1900s– arthropodization.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: arthropod n., Arthropoda n., -ization suffix.

Etymology: < either arthropod n. or Arthropoda n. + -ization suffix.

Biology.

The evolutionary development of arthropod characteristics; such characteristics collectively, regarded in evolutionary terms.
