Resembling or having characteristics similar to a reptile.
From Greek 'herpeton' (reptile) combined with '-oid' (resembling or similar to). The '-oid' suffix comes from Greek 'eidos' meaning appearance or form.
The '-oid' suffix is incredibly useful in science—humanoid (human-like), anthropoid (ape-like), and herpetoid (reptile-like) all describe things by what they resemble!
