Resembling or having the characteristics of sand; sandy or grain-like in appearance or composition.
From Latin 'arena' (sand) + '-oid' (resembling, like), meaning 'sand-like.'
The '-oid' suffix is a scientist's way of saying 'kind of looks like but isn't exactly'—so arenoid means something that's sand-like enough to describe but might contain other stuff too!
