Somewhat resembling or characteristic of an arrow; having arrow-like qualities to a moderate degree.
From 'arrow' with the suffix '-ish' (Old English origin meaning 'somewhat' or 'having qualities of'). The -ish suffix is one of English's most versatile modifiers.
The suffix '-ish' is wonderfully vague by design—'arryish' doesn't commit to being fully arrow-shaped, leaving room for interpretation, which is exactly why we use it when something is *almost* but not quite something.
