Definition
Resembling a dolphin in appearance, behavior, or characteristics; having qualities associated with dolphins.
Etymology
Compound adjective formed by adding '-like' (from Old English 'lic') to 'dolphin'. The '-like' suffix productively creates adjectives meaning 'resembling' or 'having qualities of'.
Kelly Says
The '-like' suffix is one of English's most flexible word-building tools—you can slap it onto almost any noun to create an adjective, which is why you see creative combinations like 'dolphinlike' that instantly make sense even if they're rarely used.
