Thagomizer–A Scientific Term Taken from a Comic Strip

According to Wikipedia, a thagomizer is “the distinctive arrangement of four to ten spikes on teh tails of stegosaurid dinosaurs.”

The word did not exist until this The Far Side cartoon from 1982, and “thereafter became gradually adopted as an informal term within scientific circles, research, and education.”
