Myriapoda

/ˌmɪrɪˈapədə/ /ˌmɪrɪəˈpəʊdə/

noun
A group of arthropods comprising the centipedes, millipedes, pauropods, and symphylans, which have elongated bodies with numerous leg-bearing segments; (treated as plural) such arthropods collectively.

Origin

Early 19th century; earliest use found in John Stark (fl. 1828). From scientific Latin Myriapoda from myria- + -poda. Compare slightly earlier myriapod noun, and medieval Greek (or earlier) μυριόπους many-footed.
