Adipoid

/ˈædɪpɔɪd/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having the qualities of fat; fatty or lipid-like in appearance or composition.

Etymology

From Latin adipis (fat) + Greek -oid (resembling). This descriptive term allows scientists to classify tissues or substances that seem fat-like without full chemical analysis.

Kelly Says

Under a microscope, 'adipoid' tissues shimmer differently than other tissues because of their light-reflecting lipid molecules—they literally look like they're made of fat.
