  1. nematode +‎ -oid (Wiktionary)

Examples

  • “Supposing this primitive stock to have {140} arisen directly from a very lowly organized animal indeed (such as a nematoid worm, or an ascidian, or a jelly-fish), yet it is not easy to believe that less than two thousand million years would be required for the totality of animal development by no other means than minute, fortuitous, occasional, and intermitting variations in all conceivable directions.”
