Unusual old phial, shaped like a body part (8)

I believe the answer is:

phalloid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shaped like a body part' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'unusual old phial' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'old'+'phial'='oldphial'
'oldphial' with letters rearranged gives 'PHALLOID'.

Can you help me to learn more?
