Definition
Somewhat damp or slightly moist; having a dampish quality that is not fully wet.
Etymology
From 'damp' with the diminutive suffix '-ish' (meaning somewhat or rather), created to describe something that has damp qualities but not intensely.
Kelly Says
The suffix '-ish' is English's way of being wishy-washy—'dampish' means you're not quite sure if it's really wet, just kind of... dampy-ish!
