arachnid (W3)
Die Bezeichnung zool. engl. "arachnid" (1869) = dt. "rachnide", "Arachnoide", "Spinnentier", "spinnenartig", span. "arácnido", geht über frz. "arachnide" zurück auf griech. "arakhne" = dt. "Spinne" und den Namen eines Mädchens der griechischen Mythologie. Arachne hatte die Göttin Athena (die Göttin des Spinnens und Webens) in einem Webwettstreit besiegt. ("Athena wove a tapestry depicting the gods in majesty, while Arachne showed them in love.") Diese rächte sich indem sie "Arachne" in eine Spinne verwandelte.
In der Zoologie bezeichnet engl. "arachnid" achtbeinige Gliederfüßler der Klasse "Arachnida". Dazu zählen spinnenartige Tiere wie Spinnen, Skorpione und Zecken.
Den Stamm griech. "arachn", "arachne", "arachno" findet man auch in engl. "arachnidan", "arachnides", "arachnoïde", "arachnoïdien" und in frz. "araignée" = dt. "Spinne", frz. "toile d'araignée" = dt. "Spinnwebe", span. "araña" = dt. "Spinne", "Kronleuchter", lat. "aranea" = dt. "Spinnwebe", "Spinne".
Die zoologische Bezeichnung "Arachnida" (1815) soll auf den französischen Naturforscher Jean Baptiste de Lamarck (1744 - 1829) zurück gehen. Lamarck hat auch (1802) die Prägung des Begriffs "Biologie" mit bestimmt.
Ein anderer Hinweis gibt den französischen Naturforscher Georges Baron de Cuvier (Georges Léopole Chrétien Frédéric Dagobert, Baron Cuvier, 1769 - 1832) als Autor der Bezeichnung "Arachnida" an. Cuvier teilte das Tierreich in die vier Typen Wirbeltiere, Weichtiere, Gliedertiere und Strahltiere. Cuvier war weiterhin Mitbegründer der wissenschaftlichen Paläontologie.

Cryptozoology (W3)
Engl. "Cryptozoology" setzt sich zusammen aus griech. "kryptós" = dt. "verborgen", "heimlich", "geheim", griech. "zoon" = dt. "Lebewesen", "Tier" (griech. "zen", "zoein" = "leben") und griech. "lógos" = dt. "Logos", "Lehre". Die "Cryptozoologie" ist demnach die "Lehre, Wissenschaft von den unentdeckten Tieren", "Studie von den verborgenen Tieren".
Cryptozoology is the study of creatures that are rumored to exist. But for true believers and alleged eyewitnesses, these "cryptids" are alive and well and lurking among us.

Die Bezeichnung engl. "Entomologist", dt. "Entomologe", frz. "Entomologiste" (1789) = dt. "Insektenforscher", "Insektenkundler" setzt sich zusammen aus griech. "entomos" = dt. "eingeschnitten", "Kerbtier", "Insekt" und griech. "logos" = dt. "Lehre".
An entomologist is a scientist who studies insects, including their taxonomy, morphology, physiology and ecology. Insects greatly outnumber people by more than a billion to one and many species have been around much longer than humans, making entomology one of the most interesting sciences around.

Entomology (W3)
Engl. "entomology" (1766, 1764), dt. "Entomologie" = dt. "Insektenkunde" geht über frz. "entomologie" (1764) zurück auf griech. "entomos" = dt. "das Zerschnittene", "das Zerteilte" das sich zusammen setzt aus griech. "en" = dt. "in" und griech. "temnein" = dt. "schneiden". Die griechische Wortprägung soll auf Aristoteles zurück gehen, der mit der Bezeichnung Bezug auf den in Segmente unterteilten Körper von Insekten nahm. (Auch dt. "Insekt" bedeutet dt. "Eingeschnittenes (Tier)", zu lat. "in-secare" = dt. "einschneiden".)
Engl. "Entomology" verbindet mit engl. "Etymology", dass die beiden Bezeichnungen gerne verwechselt werden.
The "logy" suffixes mean "doctrine"; "theory"; "science," but what about "etymon" and "entomon"? "Etymon" means "origin of a word" in Latin; the Latin term comes from the Greek "etymon" meaning "literal meaning of a word according to its origin." "Etymon" has its origin (no joke) in "etymos" — "truth".
Now let's dissect the Greek "entomon". "Entomon" means "insect"; that term breaks down into Greek components meaning "to cut up", "to cut in".
Die Wurzel griech. "temnein" = dt. "schneiden" findet man auch in
dt. "Anatomie" = "Lehre des unzerschnittenen Körpers"
Dt. "Lobotomie" = dt. "Schnitt, Eingriff in die weiße Gehirnsubstanz" zu griech. "lobós" = dt. "(Ohr)läppchen"
Dt. "Atom" = "Unteilbares"
Auch dt. "Tempel" zu lat. "templum", als "Platz aus dem Wald geschnitten wurde", (gerodet wurde), um die Zeremonien durchzuführen, soll auf griech. "temnein" zurück gehen.
Ebenso basiert darauf engl. "tome" (1510), das über mfrz. "tome", auf lat. "tomus" = dt. "Abschnitt eines Buches" und griech. "tomos" mit der selben Bedeutung zurück geht.
Als Wurzel wird ide. "*tom-", "*tem-" = dt. "schneiden" postuliert. Darauf basiert auch lat. "aestimare" = engl. "schätzen", "bewerten", "taxieren".
...
Word History:
"Entomology" comes from the Greek "entomon", the neuter of "entomos" "cut in two" (referring to most insects' segmented bodies). The verb underlying this past participle is "entemnein" "to cut up", comprising "en-" "in" + "temnein" "to cut".
English helped itself to several words from Greek based on this root:
"anatomy" "the study of the uncut body",
"lobotomy" "removal of a lobe of the brain" and
"atom" "uncuttable, indivisible particle" (which we now know is divisible).
We see it also in "temple" from Latin "templum", which apparently referred to a place that was cleared of trees, cut out of the forest, where auguries were carried out.
These words are frequently confused: entomology is the branch of zoology that deals with insects, and etymology is the branch of language study that deals with word history and word origins.

That's not the first time entomology and etymology have been confused, but it's certainly one of the best anecdotes about such confusion! We hope you don't miss the entomos. By the way, the entomo- in entomology comes from Greek meaning "cut up", referring to the segments of insects bodies! So if someone is being a "cut up", we can call him an entomologist!

Wordorigins.org is devoted to the origins of words and phrases, or as a linguist would put it, to etymology. Etymology is the study of word origins. (It is not the study of insects; that is entomology.) Where words come from is a fascinating subject, full of folklore and historical lessons. Often, popular tales of a word’s origin arise. Sometimes these are true; more often they are not. While it can be disappointing when a neat little tale turns out to be untrue, almost invariably the true origin is just as interesting.

"Enzoology" was originally created by "Enzo Monfre" at the age of seven. Originally a series of videos on-line, the idea sparked the development of "Exploration Nation" a supplemental educational program designed to ignite the love of science among elementary students.
Now 10 years old, Enzo is still exploring science in real life: whether he's tracking Giant Garter snakes with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, experiencing what it's like to live in space with NASA or going behind the scenes with the San Antonio Zoo to experience first hand conservation and science principles.
Our goal is to reach millions of kids and show them that it's cool to be into science, care about the natural world and support life long interest in science and conservation.
Enzo believes science can save the world - one kid at a time.

Engl. "Ethnozoology" setzt sich zusammen aus griech. "éthnos" = dt. "Volk", "Volksstamm", "Nation", griech. "zoon" = dt. "Lebewesen", "Tier" (griech. "zen", "zoein" = "leben") und griech. "lógos" = dt. "Logos", "Lehre". Die "Ethnozoology" ist demnach die "Lehre, Wissenschaft von den Tierstämmen", bzw. die "Lehre der Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Tierwelt", engl. "interactions between people and animals".
Der Präfix/Suffix "-galea-", "-galeat-", "-galei-", "-galeo-", "-galer-" ist vorzugsweise in der Botanik und der Zoologie anzutreffen. Er geht zurück auf lat., griech. "galea" = dt. "Helm", "Lederhelm", Haube". Die Bedeutungsentwicklung verlief über "Wiesel", "Wieselpelz" or "Wieselhaut", "Leder", "Lederhelm". Man findet es auch in der erweiterten Bedeutung "Katze-".

Invertebrate animals are animals without a backbone (unlike vertebrate animals such as amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals).
Invertebrates include microscopic animals such as protozoans, jellyfish, corals, molluscs, sea-urchins, insects, crustaceans and many other groups. Most animals in the world are invertebrates.

Of the world’s c. 1.8 million described species, around 97 percent are invertebrates. Invertebrates were the first animals to evolve on earth, and exhibit a staggering level of diversity, from the relatively simple corals and jellyfish to the socially complex arthropods, such as the honey bee. Besides the lack of a backbone, members of this large, informal group do not have bony skeletons or true jaws. The main threats to terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates are habitat loss, pollution and competition with non-native species.
Of the world’s c. 1.8 million described species, around 97 percent are invertebrates. Invertebrates were the first animals to evolve on earth, and exhibit a staggering level of diversity, from the relatively simple, such as the common jellyfish, to the much more complex arthropods and molluscs, such as the giant octopus. Besides the lack of a backbone, members of this large, informal group do not have bony skeletons or true jaws. Invertebrates are particularly abundant in the world’s oceans, where they are subject to an increasing variety of threats, including pollution, climate change, over-collection, habitat degradation and competition with invasive species.

Invertebrates have no backbone; some have an exoskeleton or shell. Ants, spiders, dragonflies, crustaceans and stick insects are all invertebrates. Although molluscs are invertebrates they are not shown here.
Of the 1070 insects assessed 559 were globally at risk of extinction; 429 of the 502 crustaceans assessed were at risk; 30 of about 60 other species assessed were at risk. Over 60% of assessed species are classed as globally threatened. Less than 1 in 600 of the known invertebrate species have been assessed.
The most species at risk were in the United States at 300, followed by 109 in South Africa, then 107 in Australia.
“Invertebrates play important roles in nutrient cycling and in creating and maintaining biological diversity ... audiences may overlook their significance because many invertebrate species are small or cryptic.” R. T. Ryti, 2000
Territory size shows the proportion of invertebrate species (not including molluscs) assessed as locally at risk of extinction, found there.

Magizoology
Magecosystem (W3)
Laut dem Harry-Potter-Lexikon handelt es sich bei engl. "Magizoology" um die Lehre der magischen Tiere". In diesem Zusammenhang steht auch der Term "Magecosystem", der Lehre vom Zusammenleben magischer und nichtmagischer Organismen in einem bestimmten Umfeld.
...
In comparison to magic in these sentient beings, magic in animals appears to be somewhat different in the HP world. According to the authoritative treatise on the subject of "Magizoology", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" by Mr. Newt Scamander, the Ministry of Magic has over the years struggled to develop a clear distinction between the three classes of magical creatures, Beings, Spirits, and Beasts, the last including mostly animals as well as a few beings who have chosen to align themselves with this class (also see the Lexicon pages on Magical Beings and Named Beasts). But the Ministry does not seem to have worked as hard to define the line between “magical” and “non-magical,” particularly for the Beasts.

Although I have no evidence as to the thinking of the MOM when this species was classified as magical, I do have a theory as to why this species is included in a consideration of "Magizoology", so please consider the rest of this essay to be speculation. The Flobberworm may be important not only for its own modest abilities and characteristics, but also for its place in the "Magecosystem", which is the ecological interaction of all magical and non-magical organisms living within a certain environment.

Migration (W3)
Die "Migration" stammt aus dem lat. "migratio" = "Wanderung", "Auswanderung" und bezeichnet eine dauerhafte Ab- oder Einwanderung einzelner Tiere oder einer Population in eine andere Population der gleichen Art.
1610s, of persons, 1640s of animals, from L. migrationem (nom. migratio), from pp. stem of migrare "to move from one place to another," probably originally *migwros, from PIE *meigw- (cf. Gk. ameibein "to change"), from base *mei- "to change, go, move" (see mutable). That European birds migrate across the seas or to Asia was understood in the Middle Ages, but subsequently forgotten. Dr. Johnson held that swallows slept all winter in the beds of rivers, while the naturalist Morton (1703) stated that they migrated to the moon.
Engl. "Python" (1580) = dt. "Python" war der Name einer riesigen Schlange der griechischen Mythologie (gezeugt von Gaia, der Göttin der Erde), die von Apollo erschlagen wurde. Die Bezeichnung geht über lat. "python" zurück auf griech. "python", und bezieht sich möglicherweise auf "Pytho", einem alten Namen für die Stadt "Delphi", in deren Nähe die sagenhafte Begegnung statt fand. Ein weiterer Bezug könnte zu griech. "pythein" = dt. "rot" hergestellt werden.
Auch der Name der Priesterin des Orakels zu Delphi (auf dem Berg Parnass), (das von der Schlange bewacht wurde), "Pythia", dürfte sich auf den alten Namen Delphis beziehen.
Es gibt jedoch auch Hinweise, die den Namen Delphis auf den Namen der Schlange beziehen.
Als zoologische Bezeichnung für eine große Schlangenart kam "Python" 1836 in Frankreich auf.
Eine Programmiersprache trägt ebenfalls den Namen "Python". Diese Bezeichnung bezog sich zunächst jedoch nicht auf die mythische Schlange sondern auf die englische Komikertruppe "Monty Python". Die Schlange drängte sich jedoch derart mächtig auf, dass sie sogar im Logo der "Python Software Foundation" zu finden ist.
"python" A large constrictor reptile that grows up to 20 feet (6 meters) long. A serpent that guarded the oracular cult until killed by Apollo according to Greek mythology.

Python, a large, primitive snake of tropical Asia and Africa. Like the similar but unrelated boa constrictor of tropical America, the python has vestigial hind limbs that extend outside the body as a pair of short spurs. Unlike the boa, the python lays eggs - as many as 100 at a time - instead of bearing its young alive.

Der Name geht nicht etwa (wie das Logo vermuten ließe) auf die gleichnamige Schlangengattung (Pythons) zurück, sondern bezog sich ursprünglich auf die englische Komikertruppe "Monty Python". In der Dokumentation finden sich daher auch einige Anspielungen auf Sketche aus dem Flying Circus. Trotzdem etablierte sich die Assoziation zur Schlange, was sich unter anderem in der Programmiersprache "Cobra" sowie dem Python-Toolkit "Boa" äußert.
Engl. "spoonworm" (1835–1845) setzt sich zusammen aus engl. "spoon" + engl. "worm". Der längliche "spoonworm" hst einen leicht gewölbten Fortsatz, so dass die komplette Form einem Löffel ähnelt.
"spoonworm", also called "echiurid", any member of the invertebrate phylum Echiura, also known as "Echiuroidea", or "Echiurida". Nearly all spoonworms are exclusively marine. They are sausage-shaped organisms with a flattened extension of the “head” that is curved along its lateral edges and sometimes shaped like a "scoop" or "spoon" to form a nonretractable, highly muscular, anterior proboscis.
