Resembling or characteristic of a dervish; displaying qualities associated with dervish practice such as spiritual devotion, austerity, or ecstatic behavior.
Combines 'dervish' with the English suffix '-like' (meaning similar to or having the quality of), creating an adjective to describe dervish-like characteristics.
The '-like' suffix is endlessly productive in English—you can attach it to almost anything to make an adjective, so a person might be dervishlike without actually being a dervish, just acting with that kind of spiritual intensity.
