How many legs does half of a centipede have?

If you just look at the prefix on the name. 'Centi' translates to mean 100 and milli translates to mean 1000. However, most of either species don't have as many legs as their name implies. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many. Yes, centipede really does mean "100-footed," and yes, some centipedes actually do have 100 feet, but no, not all do. In fact, some centipedes have more than 100 feet, and some have as few as 30. Perhaps, mathematicians , not scientists, should have done the calculations, and should have named this member of the species "Myriapoda," Latin for many footed. Likewise, a millipede likely doesn't have 1,000 feet, as it's name implies.
