Resembling or similar to furan in structure or properties; having characteristics similar to furan compounds.
From furan + -oid (Greek suffix meaning 'resembling' or 'similar to'), creating an adjective that describes things with furan-like qualities.
The -oid suffix is chemistry's favorite way to say 'kind of like'—steroids aren't necessarily sterols, humanoid robots aren't human, and furoid compounds aren't necessarily furans, but they're similar enough to matter.
