Resembling or similar to a city in appearance, character, or function; having the qualities or characteristics typical of a city.
Compound of city and like (Old English gelic, from Germanic roots meaning 'resembling'). The -like suffix is one of the most productive in English for creating resemblance adjectives.
Citylike describes places that aren't officially cities but feel like them—a phenomenon that's exploded in the last century as suburbs and towns have sprawled, making the definition of 'city' fuzzier than it ever was before.
