Etymology
Its name deprives from the Greek language, and translate as: ‘xanthos’—‘ yellow’ plus ‘coxa’, which references the colour appearance on the species.[1]
gollark: We did magnets a bit, but like most of the GCSE stuff it was very lacking in maths and anything and more just, er, qualitative stuff.
gollark: But basic DC electronics stuff and reading waveforms off oscilloscopes, yes. Also electromagnets for some reason, but not in any detail.
gollark: Oh, right, no.
gollark: I did basically the same stuff for GCSE physics, which is unsurprising since, well, it's the same course, except not these "op-amps".
gollark: I'm doing A-level physics (and maths, further maths and computer science) next year, but I'm somewhat distrustful of schools' ability to actually usefully teach (some) things.
