Resembling or characteristic of an essay in style or approach; somewhat essay-like or having essay qualities.
From essay plus the informal English suffix -ish, meaning 'somewhat' or 'having the quality of.' A casual, colloquial formation.
Adding -ish to essay creates a casual, breezy adjective—it's how English speakers say 'kind of like an essay without committing to it fully, you know?'
