Resembling or similar in form to dinornithes or moa birds, but not necessarily belonging to that exact group.
From dinornis + '-oid' (suffix meaning 'resembling'), allowing description of creatures that look like moas but may be different species or families.
The '-oid' ending is scientists' way of saying 'looks like but might not be'—so a 'dinornithoid creature' is something that appears moa-like but could be a completely different extinct bird!
