Resembling, made of, or characteristic of camlet; having the qualities of camlet fabric.
A suffix form of camlet with -ine (meaning 'of or like'), creating an adjective similar to 'crystalline' or 'marine.' This formation allowed speakers to describe something as camlet-like without using the full word.
English loved combining Latin and French suffixes to expand its vocabulary—adding -ine to nouns created adjectives, so a speaker could sound fancy saying 'camletine' instead of just 'like camlet'!
