pompilidadj.n.

Brit. /pɒmˈpɪlɪd/, /ˈpɒmpᵻlɪd/, U.S. /pɑmˈpɪlᵻd/, /ˈpɑmpəˌlɪd/

Etymology: < scientific Latin Pompilus, genus name ( J. C. Fabricius Supplementum entomologiæ systematicæ (1798) 212; probably transferred use (although the motivation for the transfer is unclear) of classical Latin pompilus (also pompilos ) pilot fish or its etymon Hellenistic Greek πομπίλος < either ancient Greek πομπή pomp n.1 or πομπός escort, guide ( < πέμπειν to send: see pomp n.1) + -λος, suffix forming nouns) + -id suffix3, after scientific Latin Pompilidae, family name (1840 or earlier). With use as noun compare French pompilidés, plural noun (1907).
