'aglyphodonta' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'aglyphos,' where 'a-' meant 'without' and 'glyphos' meant 'carving or groove.'

'aglyphodonta' changed from the Greek word 'aglyphos' and eventually became the modern English word 'aglyphodonta'.

Initially, it meant 'without grooves,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a group of snakes characterized by having solid teeth without grooves or fangs.'
