Resembling or having characteristics similar to the intestines in structure or appearance.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + '-oid' (suffix meaning resembling or like). This combining form '-oid' is extremely productive in scientific nomenclature for creating descriptive terms.
Scientists use '-oid' all the time to say 'kind of like this thing'—it's a lazy but brilliant shortcut that lets you describe something without inventing entirely new words.
