Resembling or having characteristics similar to a galley, such as being long and narrow, or resembling a kitchen galley.
Compound word formed from 'galley' (a ship with oars, or a ship's kitchen) plus the suffix '-like' meaning 'similar to.' The combination is relatively modern English.
This word captures how kitchens on ships were so cramped and linear that they completely shaped how we now design narrow, efficient kitchen spaces—we still call them 'galley kitchens' today!
