Having the quality or appearance of being broken, defective, or of poor quality; somewhat damaged or substandard.
From 'brock' (broken) with the diminutive/quality suffix '-ish.' This formation allows speakers to express degrees of defectiveness or imperfection.
The '-ish' suffix is a masterpiece of English—it lets us say 'not quite broken, but getting there,' capturing the fuzzy middle ground between perfect and ruined where most things actually live.
