Somewhat handsome or moderately good-looking; having some attractive qualities without being strikingly handsome.
From 'handsome' with the diminutive or moderating suffix '-ish', which makes adjectives less absolute or more qualified.
The suffix '-ish' is English's honest qualifier—'handsomeish' admits uncertainty in a way 'handsome' never could, making it oddly more trustworthy and relatable than confident declarations of beauty.
