Somewhat cramped, restricted, or tending to cause cramping sensations; characterized by tightness or constraint.
From cramp + -ish suffix (meaning somewhat or having qualities of). The -ish suffix often conveys a milder or approximate quality of the root word.
English uses -ish to create shades of meaning: a color isn't quite blue, it's bluish; a space isn't totally cramped, it's crampish—this lets us talk about degrees without needing a whole new word.
