Gladelike

/ˈɡleɪd.laɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or characteristic of a glade; open, bright, and woodland-like.

Etymology

From 'glade' (an open space in a forest, from Old English 'glæd' meaning bright) plus '-like' suffix meaning resembling.

Kelly Says

A 'glade' is literally a 'bright place' in the forest—when you describe something as 'gladelike,' you're saying it has that magical quality of sudden openness and light, which is why glades feature so heavily in fantasy literature.
