Having a somewhat freckled appearance or tendency to develop freckles; resembling or characteristic of freckles.
Freckle + suffix '-ish' (meaning 'somewhat' or 'having the quality of'). The '-ish' suffix comes from Old English and Germanic roots, used to create adjectives describing mild or partial qualities.
The '-ish' suffix is brilliantly flexible in English—it softens descriptions, so 'frecklish' suggests not completely freckled but with that freckled quality. You'll see this pattern everywhere: reddish, bluish, youngish.
