Clodhopperish

/ˌklɑːdˈhɑːpərɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or characteristic of a clodhopper; clumsy, rustic, or uncultured in manner or appearance.

Etymology

From 'clodhopper' with the adjectival suffix '-ish'. This takes the noun describing a rustic person and turns it into an adjective describing behavior or characteristics that mark someone as a clodhopper.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ish' to 'clodhopper' shows how flexible English is—you can describe someone's awkward gait as 'clodhopperish' even if they're not literally a farmer, which made it perfect for snobbish social criticism!
