The Latin term is adapted from a purported Ancient Greek *ἀδελγεῖν (*adelgeîn, “to suck”), which is unattested; it is likely there was some confusion with ἀμελγεῖν (amelgeîn, “to milk, to suck up moisture, to drink”). Compare French adelge. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /əˈdɛl.d͡ʒɪd/ === Noun === adelgid (plural adelgids) An insect of the genus Adelges. ==== Derived terms ==== fir adelgid woolly adelgid pine bark adelgid === Anagrams === Gaddiel
