A trademark for a type of synthetic waterproof cloth that resembles leather, popular in the early 20th century.
From fabric + -oid (resembling). Originally a brand name, it became somewhat genericized. The -oid ending signals an imitation or artificial version.
Fabrikoid was the 1920s solution to expensive leather—it let regular people have fake leather car seats and furniture, foreshadowing today's synthetics revolution.
