Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The word is coined from the Latin word procella, meaning storm, fused with the Latin suffix -tor used to form a third declension masculine agent noun (e.g., like gladiator, from gladius, sword). It represents a metaphor of the upcoming storm in the form of a revision of Batrachideini.
