Resembling or having the form of a crocodile; shaped like or similar to a crocodile.
From 'crocodile' + '-oid,' a Greek-derived suffix meaning 'resembling' or 'having the form of' (as in 'asteroid,' 'humanoid,' or 'spheroid'), used throughout science to describe similar forms.
The '-oid' suffix is science's way of saying 'kind of like' without committing to saying it IS that thing—you might see a 'crocodiloid creature' in a sci-fi novel that's not a real crocodile but shaped like one!
