The word centipede was derived from two Latin words 'cent' = '100' and 'pede' = 'foot'. How many feet does a centipede have?

The word is a misnomer. Maybe multiped would be better.
Centipedes can have from about 30 to about 350 or so feet, or legs, if you prefer.
Good luck finding one with exactly 100.

Normally centipedes have about 50 legs although there have been some which have had up to 200 legs.

They really have a lot of them, but they're so ticklish, it's very hard to count. To go back to the Latin translation, I would say "legis alotus".
