Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly, e.g. skinny-like Brit.

/ˈskɪnɪlʌɪk/, U.S.

/ˈskɪniˌlaɪk/.

Forms: Middle English -lyk, Middle English–1500s -lyke, Middle English– -like; Scottish pre-1700 -leik, pre-1700 -lik, pre-1700 -lyk, pre-1700 1700s -lyke, pre-1700 1700s– -like, 1800s– -laek (Shetland).

Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymons: like adj.; like adv.

Etymology: Partly (when forming adjectives) < like adj., and partly (when forming adverbs) < like adv. Compare earlier -ly suffix¹ and -ly suffix².Attested from the 15th cent. in Middle English (forming adverbs in e.g. workmanlike adv.; forming adjectives in e.g. circle-like adj. at circle n. Compounds 1b), and also in Older Scots at a similar date (compare early quots. at e.g. body-like adv. and warlike adj.). Compare earlier Middle English (chiefly northern) formations with -lik , variant of -ly suffix¹ and -like , variant of -ly suffix²; at an early date, these are particularly common in adverbs in the Ormulum (compare discussion at -ly suffix²) and in the early Middle English Gen. & Exod. (compare e.g. modilike at moodily adv. Forms). For many formations in -like , both adjectives and adverbs, there are parallel formations in -ly suffix¹ or -ly suffix², which are often of similar date or earlier. These typically differ in sense to various degrees, but there is often some semantic overlap. Early examples of such pairs are knightlike adv. and knightly adv., womanlike adj. and womanly adj. In these cases, 15th-cent. forms in -lik , -like are taken to show -like suffix, unless this would pose semantic or other problems. In some cases, especially in northern and Scots use, -like suffix may have arisen as a reinterpretation of such forms as showing like adj. or like adv. Early formations in -like suffix without a parallel in -ly include moonlike adj., angel-like adj., and angel-like adv. Early formations are commonly written as a single word, as is still the case with some established formations (e.g. lordlike, nymphlike), but recent formations are typically hyphenated.

Forming adjectives and adverbs from nouns and (less commonly) adjectives.

1. With nouns.

a. Forming adjectives with the sense ‘similar to or of the nature of —’, ‘characteristic of or befitting —’.Frequently also in formations prefixed with un-, as ungentlemanlike, unofficerlike, unwarlike, etc.: see un- prefix¹ 1c.Formations are now almost limitless in number with the suffix applied freely to both common and proper nouns as well as noun compounds and phrases, often on an occasional or ad hoc basis (e.g. quot. 1848, which illustrates one of more than sixty similar formations in the cited work; similarly the Oxford English Corpus contains more than 100,000 different formations of this type since 2000).

b. Forming adverbs with the sense ‘in or after the manner of —’, ‘so as to resemble —’.In modern English adverbial formations are far less common than the adjectival ones covered in sense 1a. These adverbs are now typically employed to characterize the subject of the clause rather than to indicate the manner of an action and in many cases might be taken as adjectives used parenthetically; often the adverbial use represents only a functional shift in an existing adjective (see, e.g., girl-like adj. and adv. at girl n. Derivatives, ogre-like adj. and adv., pard-like adj. and adv. at pard n.¹ Derivatives). Cf. sense 2b.
