ヒトデ
ヒトデは星型をした生物で、現在一般的に使われている星マークの元となったと言われています。
英語では "starfish" (星の魚) や "sea star" （海の星）、フランス語では "étoile de mer" (海の星)、ドイツ語では "Seestern" (海の星)、中国では "海星" （海の星） と、多くの言語で星にちなんだ名前が付けられています。
一方、日本では「ヒトデ」と呼ばれており、文字通りの意味は「人の手」です。
ヒトデの腕が人の手に見えたことから、漁師の間でそう呼ばれるようになったそうです。
以前日本のテレビ番組で、「ヒトデは全身を縄で縛られても抜け出す事ができる」という雑学を紹介していました。
