Ish (2)
zero derivation; adjective
Somewhat, like, similar to but not identical to. Usually used when connoting something negative.
Etymology : Zero-derived from the suffix "-ish," which means 'like,' 'somewhat.' Instead of attaching it to the ends of adjectives, "ish" can now be used as its own word and put in front of adjectives.
