Resembling or containing fluorine; relating to fluorine or its compounds.
From fluoro- + -oid (meaning 'resembling'). This is a relatively rare descriptive term used in chemistry to indicate fluorine-like properties.
While uncommon, 'fluoroid' shows how English chemistry vocabulary lets you describe anything that acts like fluorine without being fluorine itself—useful for classifying obscure compounds.
