Word: cassiosome Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Cassio(pea) (a genus of jellyfish) + -some, referring to a genus containing some of the jellyfish found to produce them. Coined 2020 by Cheryl L. Ames, et al., in a paper published in Communications Biology (see quotations below). 1. A stinging-cell structure, composed of a layer of mainly nematocytes surrounding a core of dinoflagellates, amoebocytes and mesoglea, expelled within mucus by Rhizostomeae jellyfish to sting (and in some cases kill) prey in the surrounding water. Example: Released within the mucus, we discovered three types of undeployed nematocysts, as well as microscopic, motile, cellular masses composed of nematocytes that we formally call cassiosomes. While cassiosomes bear some resemblance to another cnidarian structure originating in mesenteries of the starlet sea anemone Nematostella called nematosomes, the unique traits of cassiosomes in C. xamachana include their release into the water column within mucus, the ability to trap and kill prey as mobile grenades outside of the medusa, their organization as an outer epithelial layer surrounding a mostly empty core (rather than a solid ball of cells), and the presence of centrally-located endosymbiotic Symbiodinium dinoflagellates. Example: The hagfish produces mucus all over its body when poked. The team investigating the jellyfish grenades found that similar stimuli could provoke Cassiopea to release Cassiosome grenades from some tiny spoon-shaped structures on their arms.

A soldier who is a specialist in a specific type of weapon. Example: For example, a fairly new rating in the Navy is that of nuclear weaponsman. Before this rating was established, a very thorough analysis of enlisted duties in nuclear weapons units was made. Example: LT Coulombe was commissioned from the ranks in 1969, after 11 years enlisted as an underwater weaponsman.

Word: shashka Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Russian шашка (šaška). 1. A kind of guardless, lightly-curved sabre used in Russia. Example: The question of form naturally concerns only the cutting weapon. Indeed, it is to a certain degree idle to discuss it at all, or at least of no great moment. To be convinced of this it is sufficient to compare the curvature of the yatagan with the less decided curvature of the shashka. Yet no Cossack would probably exchange his shashka for a yatagan, nor would any Turk give up his yatagan for a shashka, because that is all a matter of usage. Example: Shashka blades came from various sources, some being locally made and others imported from Russia. In the 19th century, many came from Germany too, and Solingen, in particular, produced a number of shashka blades displaying imitations of the "running wolf" mark of Passau.
