Amberlike

/ˈæmbərˌlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling amber in appearance, color, transparency, or quality.

Etymology

Compound adjective from 'amber' plus the suffix '-like', meaning 'similar to' or 'having the qualities of' (common in English: childlike, lifelike, catlike).

Kelly Says

The '-like' suffix is endlessly productive in English—speakers create new adjectives constantly by adding it to nouns (glasslike, plastic-like), making it one of the most useful word-building tools in the language.
