Meaning of "abranchiate" in English

The term "abranchiate" refers to organisms that lack gills. In biological contexts, this adjective is applied to species that do not possess the typical aquatic breathing structures, such as amphibians and some marine life forms that have adapted to breathe air or absorb oxygen through their skin. The term derives from "a-" meaning "without" and "branchiae," meaning "gills." Abranchiate species have evolved alternative mechanisms for respiration to survive in their respective environments.

In French, "abranchiate" describes organisms that do not have gills. This term is most commonly used in biological discussions relating to species that have adapted to a life without the traditional aquatic breathing organs often found in other marine and freshwater creatures. These organisms may employ different methods for respiration, such as cutaneous (through the skin) breathing. The word combines the prefix "a-" meaning "without," with "branchies," meaning “gills.”
