Forestish

/ˈfɔːrɪstɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Somewhat resembling or suggestive of a forest; having some qualities of a forest but not fully wooded or dense.

Etymology

From 'forest' + '-ish' (a suffix meaning 'somewhat' or 'somewhat like'), using the productive '-ish' suffix to indicate partial or approximate similarity.

Kelly Says

The '-ish' suffix is wonderfully informal—'forestish' sounds like how someone might describe a park with lots of trees but still some open space, avoiding the commitment of calling it fully 'forested.'
