Brit. /ˌreɪdɪə(ʊ)ˈlɛːrɪə/, U.S. /ˌreɪdiəˈlɛriə/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Radiolaria.
Etymology: < scientific Latin Radiolaria, group name (J. Müller 1858, in Physikalischen Abhandl. der Königlich. Akad. der Wissensch. zu Berlin (1859) 16; adopted, with amended application, in Haeckel Die Radiolarien (1862)) < post-classical Latin radiolus (see radiole n.) + -aria -ary suffix1. Compare German Radiolarien, plural noun (1862 in Haeckel), French radiolaires, plural noun (1862 in a report on Haeckel's book), both after scientific Latin.
Zoology.
With plural and singular agreement. (In form Radiolaria) a group of protozoans comprising the radiolarians; (also radiolaria) animals of this group (collectively or individually).The group was formerly ranked as an order or a class, and at first included heliozoans as well as the marine forms now called radiolarians. In most modern schemes it does not constitute a formal taxon, the radiolarians being divided between three of the four classes of Actinopoda (the fourth comprising the heliozoans).
