Snails are called snails becuase, in 1912 a person named S. Ingerney found one. He recalled that it looked like a giant nail. He named the species nail. After a while, he got a black lung disese and died. A person interested in the species "nail" looked in Dr. Ingerney's diary, it said that he wished for the species to be called a more interesting name. So, the person changed the name to snails.
No, it's the outside of a mollusc, such as a snail, slug or squid. Arthropods are animals such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids, with a hard exoskeleton as their outside covering.

A snail is a mollusc, as are the octopus and oyster.
A snail would not be classified as an arthropod; it is a mollusk. A starfish, on the other hand, is classified as an echinoderm, not an arthropod either. Arthropods include organisms like insects, arachnids, and crustaceans, characterized by their exoskeletons and segmented bodies. Therefore, neither the starfish nor the snail is an arthropod.
The only arthropod I know with a house is a hermit crab - they utilized empty snail shells.
No, snails belong to the gastropod class under phylum Mollusca (molluscs). Arthropoda are a different phylum and characterized by joint appendages, like insects and crustaceans.

Yes. Although they have hard exoskeletons in the front, the back half is soft much like a snail's body. There have been debates whether this animal is a mollusk or arthropod.
An arthropod
Vectors of the arthropod.
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
