Meaning of "quadripennate" in English

"Quadripennate" refers to something characterized by having four wings or wing-like structures.

The term is derived from the Latin "quadri-" meaning four and "penna" meaning wing or feather. This characteristic can be significant in the study of the movement, behavior, and evolutionary adaptations of certain species that possess such attributes.
