Resembling or having the qualities of a cushion; soft and pliable like a cushion.
Compound from 'cushion' plus the suffix '-like' (Old English 'gelic' meaning similar). A transparent descriptive formation allowing comparison without using the word 'cushion' as a direct comparison.
The '-like' suffix is English's gift for vague comparison—cushionlike lets us describe something as cushion-ish without committing to saying it actually is a cushion, useful for clouds, breasts, or new luxury sofas.
