Resembling or having the form of something geometric; somewhat geometric or geometric-like in appearance.
From geometry (Greek geometria) plus the suffix -oid, meaning 'resembling' or 'having the form of.' The -oid suffix comes from Greek eidos meaning 'form' or 'appearance,' commonly used in scientific nomenclature.
The term 'geometroid' bridges the gap between purely mathematical shapes and the messy real world—it describes things that are mostly geometric but not perfectly so, which actually describes most of nature more accurately than calling it 'geometric.'
