monopodn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈmɒnəpɒd/, U.S.

/ˈmɑnəˌpɑd/

Forms: 1800s– monopod, 1800s– monopode.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mono- comb. form, -pod comb. form.

Etymology: < mono- comb. form + -pod comb. form. In sense A. 1 after Hellenistic Greek μονοποδ-, μονόπους one-footed; in sense A. 2 after tripod n., bipod n.; in sense B. probably after classical Latin monopodium a table with one leg (see monopodium n.; Hellenistic Greek μονόπους is also used of a table, in a single grammatical text). Compare French monopode (1752 as noun, 1840 as adjective). Compare monopode n., and slightly later monoped n.

A. n.

1. A creature having only one foot; (Classical Mythology) any one of a mythical race of people supposed to have lived at the southern edge of the ancient Greek and Roman world, who each had a single leg ending in a foot of immense size with which they shaded themselves from the heat of the sun (see Pliny Nat. Hist. 7. 2 and cf. Sciapodes n.).
