词源
from modern Latin -oides, from Greek -oeidēs; related to eidos 'form'.
-oid, suffix|ɔɪd, əʊɪd|ad. mod.L. -oīdēs, Gr. -οειδής, i.e. -ο- of prec. element or connective + -ειδής ‘having the form or likeness of’, ‘like’, f. εἶδος form; cf. L. -i-formis: see -form. (A parallel Gr. formative was -ώδης: see -ode1.) Examples: αἱµατοειδής (αἱµατώδης) ‘like blood, of the appearance of blood, hæmatoid’; ἀνθρωποειδής ‘of human form, manlike, anthropoid’. In other mod. langs., as in Gr. and L., the o and i make distinct syllables (L. anthrōpoīdēs, F. anthropoïde, Ger. anthropoïd); in Eng. also, some pronounce |ænθrəʊˈpəʊɪd|, but the prevalent pronunciation of the suffix (and in many words, as alkaloid, asteroid, the only one) is with the diphthong (oi) as in void.Extensively used in scientific terms, taken from Greek prototypes, or formed on Gr. (rarely L.) words. These are primarily adjs. with the sense ‘having the form or nature of, resembling, allied to’; but also (as sometimes in Gr.) ns., in the sense of ‘something having the form or appearance of, something related or allied in structure, but not identical’. The ns. are esp. numerous in Mathematics, where, in imitation of rhomboid (Gr. ῥοµβοειδής approaching a lozenge (ῥόµβος) in shape, a rhomboid) and trapezoid (Gr. τραπεζοειδής having somewhat of the form of a table (τράπεζα)), the suffix has been used to form the names of many geometrical figures.Examples:—(adj.) Anat. adenoid, arachnoid, arytenoid, coracoid, hyoid, sigmoid, thyroid; Zool. amœboid, anthropoid, cancroid, crinoid, echinoid, hydroid, ichthyoid, medusoid, simioid; Bot. ovoid, scorpioid.(ns.) Math. cardioid, cycloid, ellipsoid, hyperboloid, rhomboid, spheroid, trapezoid; Astron. asteroid, planetoid; Chem. albuminoid, alkaloid, amyloid, colloid, crystalloid, metalloid, selenoid; Bot. aroid, fucoid, rhizoid; Zool. zooid; Min. amygdaloid.The mod.L. -oïda, -oïdea, -oïdeæ, -oïdei, -oïdeus (Eng. -oideous), are derivatives of -oī̈dēs, -oid.-oidal. When the form in -oid is a n., an adj. is formed in -oidal (see -al1); as conchoidal, cycloidal, rhomboidal, trapezoidal; so alkaloidal, asteroidal, fucoidal, etc.
-oid
word-forming element meaning "like, like that of, thing like a ______," from Latinized form of Greek -oeides, from eidos "form," related to idein "to see," eidenai "to know;" literally "to see," from PIE *weid-es-, from root *weid- "to see, to know" (see vision). The -o- is connective or a stem vowel from the previous element.
-oid /ɔɪd/ suffix.
ORIGIN: Repr. Modern Latin -oides, Greek -oeidēs, from -o- of the preceding elem. or connective + -eidēs having the form of, like, from eidos form (cf. Latin -formis: see -form). Cf. -ode1.
Forming nouns and adjectives adopted from Greek or Latin, or English words modelled on these, with the sense ‘(a thing) having the form of, like, similar to’ as android, colloid, metalloid, ovoid, spheroid, steroid, etc.; in Zoology also, ‘(a member) of a specified superfamily, suborder, or similarly ranked taxon (with a name ending in -oidea, -oidei)', as hominoid, lemuroid.
-oid
suffix forming adjectives and nouns.
like _____; like that of a _____: Ameboid = like an ameba.
a thing like a _____: Spheroid = a thing like a sphere (in form).
