Definition
Resembling or having the characteristics of a ballad, such as being narrative, emotional, and set to music.
Etymology
From 'ballad' (a narrative poem set to music, from Old French 'balade') plus 'like' (resembling). A compound adjective formed in modern English.
Kelly Says
This compound shows how 'ballad' never lost its power in English—musicians still describe songs as 'balladlike' to evoke that ancient tradition of storytelling through music that goes back centuries.
