Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
Eclipsis is derived from the Greek root word ékleipsis, respectively the Latin root word eclipsis. In English, the term eclipse typically refers to the partial or complete obscuring of one celestial body by another or by the shadow of another, but is also associated with a broader range of meanings like darkness, obscurity or blackness. The specific name is a tribute to Pink Floyds song “Eclipse” and refers to the dark and prominent appearance of the paraprocts.
