Fatuoid

/ˈfætʃuˌɔɪd/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or somewhat like fatuous behavior; having qualities that seem foolish or senseless.

Etymology

From Latin 'fatuus' (foolish) plus the suffix '-oid' (resembling, like), creating an adjective meaning 'fatuous-like' or 'fatuous-resembling'.

Kelly Says

The '-oid' suffix appears in scientific and clinical terms to mean 'resembling but not exactly'—like humanoid (resembling human) or paranoid (resembling paranoia), making 'fatuoid' a learned way to describe quasi-foolish behavior.
