Somewhat or partially Gothic in style or character; having some Gothic qualities without being fully Gothic.
From Gothic + -ish (suffix meaning somewhat or resembling). The -ish suffix creates a softened or approximate version of the root word, common in English informal speech.
The -ish suffix is magical—it lets you hedge your bets. Something gothish isn't fully goth, just like something reddish isn't fully red. It's how English lets us be vague in a precise way.
