:::::See, that's what I don't particularly like. The sentence uses too many "likely" and "possibly due". This is a wiki about facts, not speculation. If those Greek words really mean what is stated, then that explanation is more than likely correct, and we don't need those speculative keywords.

It means "stone foot." It seems kind of silly to abbreviate "arthropod" as "pod" when pod already has its own meaning. Furthermore I'm 99% certain they were intended to be insects and not just that they resemble insects, so it would be weird to use arthropod in their family name because of a resemblance to...themselves.
You are right about the first part though, and I think it's definitely worth mentioning in Trivia. Good catch. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 10:07, 18 February 2012 (EST)
