Verboid
Verboid is any of various grammatical entities that resemble verbs in some way.
Verboids are impersonal forms of verbs. They do not respond directly to a
subject but require auxiliaries and prepositions to be used. The verb is a
grammatical element that complements and gives reason to auxiliary verbs
when they are conjugated to make up sentences.
Verboids (except for the participle, which will be discussed later) are devoid of
the usual features common verb forms possess. Among these traits are those that
give a reason for the number, gender, mode, and time.
The etymological origin of "verboid" leads us to understand more about its
name. For its part, the word "verb", the lexeme or root, comes from the Latin
verbum which means "word" -although other meanings can be found in ancient
languages-. The suffix "oide" comes from the Greek eides which means
"appearance." [Stephens J.]
