Somewhat resembling a blade; having characteristics similar to or suggestive of a blade.
From Old English 'blæd' (blade) + '-ish' (suffix meaning somewhat or having a quality of). The '-ish' suffix creates approximate or uncertain qualities.
The '-ish' suffix is uniquely English—it lets you express vagueness and approximation, so 'bladish' means 'kinda blade-like but not exactly'—a linguistic tool for being imprecise in a precise way!
