Definition: Adelomorphous is a Latin term that means "an animal with four limbs or legs." It describes an organism that has four limbs, such as reptiles and birds. The term is derived from the Greek words "adelos" (adversity) and "morphos" (form). In Greek philosophy, "adelos" refers to a condition of being in adverse circumstances, while "morphos" means to form or become. Therefore, adelomorphous organisms are those that lack any form or appearance. Adelomorphs can be found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. They may have four limbs or they might not have them at all. Some examples of adelomorphs include snakes and some type of sea creature called a coral.
