Previously the etymology was given as "rom Ancient Greek στόμα (stóma, “mouth”) + εἶδος (eîdos, “likeness”) + -um," which is infeasible. spellings with -odeum, -odaeum are possible as a latinised substantivised neuter of Ancient Greek ὁδαῖος (hodaîos), which is the etymology given by the OED. apparently this word was coined together with proctodeum, if the quote in OED below is from the original coiner:
1876, E. R. Lankester, Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, volume 16:This term and its correlative ‘proctodæum’ I propose for the oral and anal invaginations.
