Etymology
The name derives from the Latin language, which luteus translates to 'yellow' and clypeatus translates to 'shield-shaped'.[1]
gollark: I too want vast swathes of land to be covered in generators which will not even work half the time because of "night" and "poor weather", which are hilariously energy-expensive to produce in the first place, and which will break after 40 years.
gollark: I mean, in a sense, maybe it is.
gollark: Also, anticentrism seems to imply you'd prefer, say, an extreme ideology in the opposite direction to yours over a generic middling centrist one, which is... odd?
gollark: What do you prefer then, "komrad kit"?
gollark: Anticentrism is only good ironically.
