Definition
Resembling or having the qualities of a hero; showing courage and noble characteristics.
Etymology
Combines 'hero' (from Greek heros, a man of superhuman strength or courage) with the suffix '-like' (resembling or similar to), a formation that became common in English from Old English.
Kelly Says
This word shows how easily English creates new adjectives by adding '-like' to nouns—it's such a productive pattern that speakers instinctively understand 'X-like' even for brand new combinations, a feature that gives English incredible flexibility for describing things.
