Guelphish

/ˈɡwɛlfɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Somewhat relating to or suggestive of Guelph or Guelph characteristics; having Guelph-like qualities.

Etymology

From 'Guelph' + the suffix '-ish,' creating a softer or more approximate adjective meaning 'somewhat Guelph-like' rather than definitively Guelph.

Kelly Says

The '-ish' suffix is English's way of saying 'kind of' or 'sort of'—'Guelphish' means something feels vaguely Guelph-y without being actually Guelph, which is why British English speakers add '-ish' to almost everything.
