Reptilian.

Brit.

/rɛpˈtɪlɪə/, U.S.

/rɛpˈtɪljə/,

/rɛpˈtɪliə/

Forms: also with lower-case initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin reptilia, reptile.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin reptilia, plural of reptile reptile n.¹

With plural agreement. Originally: those animals which creep or crawl. In later use (Zoology): the class of vertebrates which comprises the reptiles (snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, and many extinct forms).The Linnaean order Reptilia comprised all the members of the class ‘ Amphibia’ having legs, which excluded the snakes and other legless forms but included the frogs and toads (cf. quot. 1807).From a cladistic point of view the taxon is invalid because it is paraphyletic, with two groups of non-reptiles (the birds and mammals) evolving from it. The group is therefore regarded as an evolutionary grade rather than a clade.
