A small particle or granule found in blood, or a blood-like substance.
From hemo- (blood) + -oid (Greek -oeides, resembling). This technical term uses the common medical suffix to describe small blood-related particles or structures that appear under the microscope.
Hemoids are basically the forgotten footnote of blood science—rarely discussed today, but early microscopists used this term to describe mysterious granules they kept seeing that didn't quite fit into cell categories.
