Secondly, the name derives from pico-, which designates a very small unit of measurement (equivalent to 10⁻¹²), combined with rna to describe this group of very small RNA viruses.; pico- + RNA + virus Etymology templates: {{prefix|en|pico|RNA}} pico- + RNA Head templates: {{en-noun}} picornavirus (plural picornaviruses)
  1. Any of the family Picornaviridae of RNA viruses, many of which are pathogenic, causing diseases such as polio, foot-and-mouth disease, and many varieties of the common cold.
