Resembling or having characteristics similar to amber or ambergris, used to describe substances with amber-like properties.
From 'ambr-' (amber/ambergris) + '-oid' (suffix meaning 'resembling' or 'like'), a technical descriptor from chemistry and materials science.
The '-oid' suffix is scientifically honest about approximation—calling something 'ambroid' means 'kind of like amber but not really,' which reflects how scientists describe synthetic ambergris or amber substitutes that mimic some properties but not all.
