Morphology
quantoid + approach
The term 'quantoid' is a nonce/derived form not found in dictionaries, but it transparently evokes 'quant-' (quantity/quantitative) plus the suffix '-oid' (resembling), so the overall meaning ('an approach relying on quantitative methods') can be partially inferred by learners familiar with 'quantity' or 'quantitative'. However, an average B1 learner is unlikely to know the morphemic components or the suffixal pattern, so the connection is not fully predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Quantoid approach comes from a word built around quantity and an ending that means 'like', so it gives the picture of something made mostly of numbers. That's why it means a way of working that uses numbers and statistics to study things.
