Resembling beryllium or beryl in appearance, properties, or chemical behavior.
From 'beryllium' or 'beryl' plus '-oid' meaning 'resembling' or 'having the nature of'.
The '-oid' suffix in chemistry is super useful—berylloid substances might not be beryllium but they act like it, which is handy when you need beryllium-like properties!
