bdelloid - adj., of, resembling, or pertaining to leeches.


As in the squirmy sucking things, yes. From the Greek word for a leech. Not to be confused with bdellium, which is an aromatic resin, the name of which comes from Hebrew (Gen 2:12, Num 11:7).

I can think of may uses for bdelloid in corporate and political contexts, oh yes I can.
