What does CEBOID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A monkey of the New World group that includes capuchins, howlers and spider monkeys.
Ceboid is a zoologist's term for the broad family of South and Central American monkeys, many of which have prehensile tails that work like a fifth hand. Its nostrils open to the sides, which is why the group is called broad-nosed. The word is built on Cebus, the capuchin genus, with the common ending meaning "like". The shorter cebid is a close rival and is already described elsewhere in the set.
