chela
This term is a specialized biological descriptor used primarily in zoology and carcinology. It is far more technical than the common word "claw" and is typically reserved for scientific papers, textbooks, or formal anatomical descriptions of decapod crustaceans.
In a descriptive context, it refers specifically to the pincer mechanism. While a crab has many legs, only those modified into pincers are referred to as chelae. Because it is a technical term derived from Greek, it follows specific Latinate pluralization patterns in academic writing.
