Derived from the Late Latin word acephalus, originating from the Ancient Greek akephalos, meaning headless, formed by combining a- (not, without) and kephale (head). Entering English in the 17th century, it was initially used in theological contexts regarding sects without a recognized leader before expanding into zoology, literature, and political science.
