The name "millipede" is derived from the Latin mille, for "thousand" and ped (inflected form of pes) for "foot." Millipedes do not actually have a thousand feet, but can have several hundred, depending upon their age. A creature somewhat similar in appearance, but which typically has fewer feet in number is named "Centipede" from the Latin centum, for a hundred, and again, ped (inflected form of pes) for "foot."
