Domoid

/ˈdɑmɔɪd/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having the characteristics of a house or home; house-like in structure or nature.

Etymology

From Latin 'domus' (house) plus Greek '-oid' (resembling). A technical or rare descriptive term.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-oid' comes from Greek and means 'resembling,' so domoid means 'house-like'—it's the kind of technical descriptor that scientists or architects might use but that ordinary people never encounter in daily speech.
