Froglike

/ˈfrɒɡlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having characteristics similar to a frog; frog-like in appearance or behavior.

Etymology

Compound of 'frog' and the suffix '-like' (from Old English 'gelīc'), creating a resemblance descriptor common since the 18th century.

Kelly Says

The '-like' suffix is endlessly useful for comparisons—something froglike might hop, croak, or simply look squat and warty, giving us flexibility in describing amphibian resemblance!
