Resembling or having symptoms of calenture; somewhat feverish or delirious in manner.
Derived from 'calenture' with the suffix '-ish' added to create an adjective meaning 'somewhat like' or 'having qualities of.' This follows standard English word-formation patterns.
Adding '-ish' to disease names is how English speakers casually describe things that seem similar without being exactly the same—calling someone 'calenturish' was like saying they seemed feverish but maybe just tired and cranky!
