Resembling grass in appearance, structure, texture, or other characteristics.
Compound of 'grass' (Old English 'gærs') and 'like' (Old English 'gelīc' meaning similar). A productive pattern in English for creating resemblance adjectives.
The '-like' suffix is so common that linguists call it 'productive'—speakers can create new '-like' adjectives constantly without sounding odd, whether it's 'grasslike,' 'dog-like,' or even modern coinages like 'meme-like,' showing how English naturally evolves.
