Resembling or similar to an apron in shape, function, or appearance.
From 'apron' plus '-like' (resembling, similar to). This descriptive suffix allows us to compare things to aprons without them being actual aprons.
Biologists use 'apronlike' to describe structures in nature that hang down protectively—like the flap of skin under some toads' chins or the shape of certain flower petals that protect the center!
