Definition
Resembling or having the appearance, behavior, or characteristics of a fox.
Etymology
Compound word from 'fox' (the animal) plus '-like' (a suffix meaning 'resembling' or 'similar to'). This suffix has been productive in English since Old English times for creating comparison adjectives.
Kelly Says
'-Like' is one of English's most flexible suffixes—you can attach it to almost anything to create an instant comparison, which is why everyone understands 'foxlike' even if they've never heard it before. It's a creativity hack built into the language.
