Relating to or belonging to copepods, a diverse group of tiny crustaceans that are among the most abundant animals on Earth.
From 'copepod' (from Greek 'kope' meaning oar/handle + 'podos' meaning foot, referring to their oar-like swimming appendages) + suffix '-an' (belonging to).
Copepods are so numerous that they might actually outweigh all humans combined—they're the foundation of ocean food webs and every time you swim in the ocean, you're surrounded by billions of these invisible creatures.
