Somewhat or slightly inclined to brag; having qualities resembling bragging or boasting.
Formed from 'brag' plus the suffix '-ish,' which means 'somewhat' or 'having qualities of.' The '-ish' suffix (as in 'reddish,' 'foolish,' 'childish') creates adjectives that express partial or approximate qualities. This formation is productive in English and creates milder versions of more extreme adjectives.
