Resembling or related to the lumpfish family in characteristics or structure.
From 'cyclopteridae' + Greek '-oid' (resembling). This adjectival form describes things that share features with lumpfish.
The '-oid' suffix is one of science's lazy shortcuts—instead of creating entirely new names, scientists just add '-oid' to say 'kind of like this thing' and boom, instant classification!
