Ciderish

/ˈsaɪdərɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having the qualities of cider; tasting somewhat like apple cider.

Etymology

From cider (from Old French cidre, from Late Latin sicera, from Hebrew shekar meaning fermented drink) plus the suffix -ish (meaning somewhat or having the quality of).

Kelly Says

The -ish suffix is one of English's most flexible tools—it transforms any noun into an adjective meaning 'kind of' or 'somewhat like,' which is why you can describe almost anything as cider-ish, bluish, or even dinosaur-ish.
