Odonatan.

Brit.

/ˌəʊdəˈnɑːtə/, U.S.

/ˌoʊdnˈɑdə/,

/oʊˈdɑnədə/

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

Etymology: < scientific Latin Odonata, order name (J. C. Fabricius Entomologia Systematica (1793) II. p. vi.) < ancient Greek (Ionic) ὀδών , older form corresponding to Attic ὀδούς tooth n. (with reference to these insects' serrated mandibles) + scientific Latin -ata (see -ate suffix²).Ancient Greek (Ionic) ὀδοντ-, ὀδών appears to be the original form of the Greek word. Attic ὀδούς probably arose by analogy with present participles such as διδοντ-, διδούς, present participle of δίδωμι I give.

Entomology.

With plural agreement. An order of predatory insects comprising the dragonflies and damselflies, characterized by a long, slender body, large eyes, two pairs of transparent membranous wings, and aquatic nymphs; (also) the members of this order.
