Best Answer

Centepede= Cienpiés. Literally cienpiés means "one hundred feet". It is a compound word consisting of cien (see/EN) meaning one hundred, and pies (pee/ES) feet. Both these words are one syllable words.

Cienpiés is both singular and plural. It can refer to one centepede or many centepedes. So when this word is used one should always qualify numbers, similar to the English word "deer".

Even though the word "ciento" also means 100 when followed by another number, Cientopiés is NOT a correct alternative word. The only other Spanish word that can be used as a translation for centipede is the the word for the type of insect miriápodo (Myriapod).
