decuplet

decuplet
Danh từ
Số nhiều: decuplets

This term is a highly specialized medical and biological descriptor used to identify a specific number of offspring. It follows the Latin-based numerical prefix system (decu- for ten) used for multiple births, such as triplet or quadruplet. Because decuplet births are extremely rare in humans, the word is most frequently encountered in medical journals, news reports regarding record-breaking births, or veterinary contexts.

The word functions as both a collective noun referring to the entire group of ten siblings and a count noun referring to a single individual within that group. This duality allows it to be used interchangeably depending on whether the speaker is discussing the set as a whole or a specific member of the set.
