Root Explanation

Myoid is derived from "myo-" (from Greek "mus", meaning muscle) and "-oid" (meaning resembling or like). The term "myoid" refers to something that resembles muscle.

Memory Tip

Think of 'myo-' which relates to 'muscle' and '-oid' meaning 'like' — so myoid describes something that is like a muscle.
