means A class of tiny, wingless, six-legged arthropods (not true insects) known for the forked, spring-loaded tail many species use to flick themselves into the air.

from Coined from Greek roots: 'colle-' (from kolla, 'glue') plus '-embola' (from embolos, 'peg' or 'wedge, piston'). The name points to the ventral tube (collophore) on their belly, once thought to work like a sticky peg helping the creature cling to surfaces — a feature as defining to taxonomists as the jumping fork (furcula) is to everyone else who's ever met one in the soil.
