Featurish

/ˈfiːtʃərɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Somewhat resembling a feature; having some quality of being noteworthy or distinctive (rare and informal).

Etymology

From feature plus the suffix -ish (Old English '-isc'), which creates adjectives meaning 'somewhat like' or 'having qualities of,' though this is a very rare formation.

Kelly Says

The -ish suffix is incredibly productive in English slang—we spontaneously create words like 'featurish' to express 'kind of like a feature but not quite,' and native speakers understand them instantly even if they're not in dictionaries.
