A Ferenginoid was a word used to describe a lifeform similar to, but distinct from, a Ferengi, just as the word "humanoid" described a lifeform similar to a Human.
The semi-sentient being constructed of Ferengi body parts by Doctor Solev circa Ferengi year 18217 was described as a "Ferenginoid" lifeform. (DS9 reference: Legends of the Ferengi)
