Etymology

Pseudomonadales comes from the bacterial name Pseudomonas, which combines pseudo- 'false' and monas 'single cell', a word early scientists used for one cell. The ending -ales means 'order' or large group, so Pseudomonadales names the order of single-celled bacteria related to Pseudomonas.
