What does the term "pachyderm" mean?


  • Thick-skinned:The term "pachyderm" comes from the Greek and literally means "having thick skin." The word consists of the Greek term "pachys," which means thick, and the term "derma," which means skin. Together the word pachyderm emerges, meaning "thick skin." French naturalist Georges Cuvier used the term "pachyderme" in the late 1700s to describe a group of mammals with hooves or nails that resemble hooves and also have thick skin. In this group he included elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, horses, tapirs, pigs, and more. Source: Meriam-Webster.com
