Answer:
Ecdysis comes from the Greek word ekdusis, which means “put off.” It describes the process by which arthropods and insects shed their outer cuticle (exoskeleton), or how reptiles shed their old skin. This process is necessary in order for the organism to grow. The term for the cuticle or skin that is lost is exuviae. This is another Greek word and it means “things stripped from the body.
