/ˌreɪdiəˈlɛriən/,

/ˌreɪdioʊˈlɛriən/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Radiolaria , -an suffix.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Radiolaria Radiolaria n. + -an suffix. Compare slightly earlier Radiolaria n.

Zoology and Palaeontology.

A. n.

A protozoan of any of several classes of the phylum (or superclass) Actinopoda, comprising planktonic marine organisms that have slender radiating axopodia and usually lattice-like siliceous skeletons with projecting spines, the remains of which form substantial recent and fossil marine deposits.The ‘freshwater radiolarians’ of some 19th-cent. authors are now classified as heliozoans. See Radiolaria n.
