Nearly or approximately cylindrical in shape; resembling a cylinder but not perfectly cylindrical.
From Greek 'kylindros' (cylinder) + suffix '-oid' (resembling or having the form of), creating a term for shapes that are cylinder-like but not exact cylinders.
Nature rarely makes perfect cylinders—carrots, tree trunks, and fingers are all cylindroid, meaning they're close enough to tubes to act like them, but bendy and irregular in real life!
