Somewhat resembling or characteristic of government in style or manner, often used informally or with a slightly mocking tone.
From 'government' plus the suffix '-ish' (somewhat, rather, resembling). The '-ish' suffix is Germanic in origin and creates informal, often slightly disparaging adjectives.
The suffix '-ish' is brilliant for mild mockery: 'governmentish' suggests something that *looks* governmental but might be fake, bloated, or pompous—it's a way to be critical while sounding casual.
