How Do You Spell SCUTELLIGEROUS?

Pronunciation: [skjˌuːtɪlˈɪd͡ʒəɹəs] (IPA)

Scutelligerous is a rarely used word in English language. The term is derived from the Latin words "scutellum" and "gerere", which means small dish and to carry respectively. Scutelligerous is spelled as /skjuːtɛlɪdʒərəs/, where "scu-" is pronounced as /sku/ and "telli" as /tɛlɪ/. The word describes animals that bear small plates or scales on their bodies, such as millipedes. Despite its uncommon usage, scutelligerous reminds us of the importance of technical and scientific terms in precise communication.
