Resembling a garden in appearance, design, or character; having qualities similar to those of a garden.
Compound of 'garden' and '-like' (resembling or similar to), derived from Old English 'gelic.' The '-like' suffix is one of English's most productive, creating infinite comparisons.
The '-like' suffix lets us build unlimited comparisons—childlike, lifelike, dreamlike. Medieval people would've loved emoji because they already had a word-building suffix that works like visual comparisons!
