Resembling or having the characteristics of a chimney in shape, function, or appearance.
Compound adjective combining 'chimney' + '-like,' where '-like' means 'resembling' or 'similar to.' This is another productive English suffix that can attach to almost any noun to create descriptive adjectives.
The '-like' suffix is so powerful that speakers use it constantly to create vivid comparisons (cloudlike, dreamlike, beartrap-like)—it's one of English's most flexible word-building tools.
