Meaning Of Spinneret
n.
One of the special jointed organs situated on the under
side, and near the end, of the abdomen of spiders, by means of which
they spin their webs. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, but
some have only two pairs. The ordinary silk line of the spider is
composed of numerous smaller lines jointed after issuing from the
spinnerets.
