Brindlish

/ˈbrɪndəlɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Somewhat resembling or having characteristics of brindle; slightly brindled or marked with mixed colors.

Etymology

From brindle + -ish (suffix meaning somewhat or partly). Created to describe animals with partial or subtle brindle markings.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ish' is wonderfully English—it lets speakers express uncertainty and approximation, perfect for describing an animal that's 'kind of' brindled.
