Choloidic

/koʊˈlɔɪdɪk/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to bile-like substances or their chemical properties.

Etymology

From Greek 'chole' (bile) + '-oidic' (relating to resemblance). This is a more technical variant of choloid used in medical and chemical literature.

Kelly Says

Choloidic compounds fascinated early biochemists because they were trying to understand how liver disease changed the chemical composition of bile, leading to better understanding of jaundice and liver function!
