Dartoid

/ˈdɑːrtoɪd/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having characteristics similar to a dartos or the dartos muscle.

Etymology

From 'dartos' (Greek anatomical term) plus '-oid' (suffix meaning 'resembling or having the form of').

Kelly Says

The '-oid' suffix is how scientists name things that almost match but aren't quite exact—like android (resembles human) or asteroid (resembles a star)!
