Daftlike

/ˈdæftˌlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or somewhat similar to foolishness; having a somewhat silly or daft quality.

Etymology

From 'daft' (foolish) + '-like' suffix, a straightforward English compound meaning 'resembling daftness in some way but perhaps not completely.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-like' is genius because it lets us say 'kind of silly' rather than completely foolish—English loves these in-between descriptors!
