How did possum get its name?
There are slightly different versions of how the 'possum got its name. From WikiPedia (see also link below): The Virginia Opossum is the original animal named "opossum". The word comes from Algonquian 'wapathemwa' meaning "white animal", not from Greek or Latin, so the plural is opossums. Colloquially, the Virginia Opossum is frequently called simply possum. The name is applied more generally to any of the other marsupials of the Didelphimorphia and Paucituberculata orders, which includes a number of opossum species in South America. The possums of Australia, whose name is derived from a similarity to the Virginia Opossum, are also marsupials, but of the order Diprotodontia. From the Opossum Society of the US: The name "opossum" is derived from an Algonquian Indian word "apasum", meaning white animal.
