Definitions and meaning of aphid

aphid

Etymology

New Latin aphis (plural aphides), coined by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in 1758. His inspiration for the name remains unclear. OED suggests a connection to Ancient Greek ἀφειδής (apheidḗs, unsparing, lavishly borrowed) in reference to the insects' voracity or rapid rate of production, from ἀ- (a-, not) + φείδομαι (pheídomai, to spare, be thrifty, be merciful), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (to split). Doublet of aphis.
