Etymology of AROIDEOUS

The word "Aroideous" is derived from the combination of two words: "Aroid" and the suffix "-eous".

1. "Aroid" originates from the Greek word "arón", which refers to the genus Arum, a type of flowering plant. This Greek root has been adopted into Latin as "arum", meaning "an aroid plant".

- The suffix "-oid" in "Aroid" denotes "having the form or appearance of" or "resembling", thus describing plants similar to those in the genus Arum.

2. The suffix "-eous" originates from the Latin word "-eus", which further finds its roots in Greek "-eos". It is commonly used to form adjectives that describe characteristics or qualities.

- The suffix "-eous" therefore denotes that something bears or possesses the qualities or characteristics of an "Aroid".
