Cloglike

/ˈklɔɡlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling a clog in appearance, weight, or function; having qualities similar to a wooden clog.

Etymology

From 'clog' plus the productive English suffix '-like' (meaning 'resembling' or 'similar to'). The '-like' suffix is extremely common for creating comparison adjectives.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-like' is infinitely productive—you can attach it to almost any noun and create an instant adjective (moonlike, dreamlike, cloglike), which is why copywriters and marketers love making up '-like' words for new products!
