Resembling or similar in appearance or characteristics to a gallinule water bird.
Compound word formed from 'gallinule' (the water bird) plus '-like' (a productive English suffix meaning 'resembling or similar to'), allowing descriptive comparison.
The '-like' suffix is incredibly productive in English because it lets us improvise comparisons on the fly—you can describe almost anything as 'gallinule-like' if it happens to have long toes and waddle around near water.
