Resembling or related to bears; having bear-like characteristics.
From Greek 'arktos' (bear) + '-oid' (resembling). This combining form became common in zoology to describe animals with bear-like features.
When scientists see an animal that's stocky, powerful, and has similar features to bears, they might call it arctoid—it's like saying 'bear-ish' in fancy scientific language!
