Resembling or similar to a hare in appearance, behavior, or characteristics such as speed or jumpy movements.
From Old English 'hara' (hare) + '-like' (suffix meaning 'similar to'). A descriptive compound forming in English around the 13th century.
Animals described as 'harelike' often have those famous zigzag escape patterns—scientists discovered hares can change direction in mid-air by rotating their spine, something only cats share among mammals.
