Definition
Resembling or relating to a leech; having leech-like characteristics or belonging to organisms with leech-like features.
Etymology
From Greek 'bdella' (βδέλλα) meaning 'leech,' combined with the suffix '-oid' meaning 'resembling or like.' Used to describe biological structures or organisms that display leech-like qualities.
Kelly Says
The suffix '-oid' creates a whole family of descriptive words in biology—bdelloid, humanoid, android—showing how Greek roots keep spawning new words as scientists need to describe new discoveries!
