Morphology
retinoid = retinol (semi-transparent) = retin + oid
As a chemical noun, 'retinoid' is formed with the combining form 'retin-' and '-oid' to indicate a compound related to vitamin A; this is regular in scientific nomenclature but not fully transparent to general learners.
Etymology
Retinoid comes from retinol (a type of vitamin A) plus the ending -oid meaning 'like', and retinol was named after the retina of the eye. So, a retinoid is a chemical 'like' vitamin A, often used in creams to help skin problems such as acne or ageing.
