cryptoquark

Where it comes from

From crypto- + quark.

noun cryptoquarks

A massless quark that is trapped by a superheavy particle. One can implement the "massless quark" solution in a phenomenologically acceptable way, by using a massless quark that is always confined within superheavy particles, and is therefore effectively superheavy: a cryptoquark.
