ζώον
Ένας λιγότερο συνηθισμένος τύπος για το zooid με ετυμολογία, φυσικά, από το ζώον. [έτσι λέει το Collins]
zooid=ζωίδιο
Πηγή: Ιατρικό Λεξικό Ματζέντα
Ωστόσο το Websters Dictionary το διαχωρίζει:
<zoology> An animal which is the sole product of a single egg; opposed to zooid.
Aυτό επιβεβαιώνεται και από το OED:
[mod.L. (Herbert Spencer), a. Gr.zoon animal.]
An organism scientifically regarded as a complete animal, i.e. one which is the total product of an impregnated ovum, whether constituting a single being as in the higher animals, or a number of distinct beings (zooids) as in the successive asexual generations of aphides or the various _persons' that make up a compound or _colonial' animal.
Επομένως μάλλον ζώο(ν) (όπως λέμε σπερματόζωο - spermatozoon).
