Relating to or belonging to the family Anguidae, a group of limbless or short-limbed lizards including slow worms and glass lizards.
From Latin 'anguis' meaning snake, combined with the English suffix -id. The family name Anguidae derives from the same Latin root, making this an adjective form of that family name.
Anguids are one of nature's great deceptions—glass lizards look identical to snakes, but they're actually legless lizards that can shed their tails to escape predators, while real snakes can't.
