baldish

/ˈbɔɫdɪʃ/ adj

Somewhat bald; balding.

Word Origin Bald comes from Middle English 'balled', originally meaning 'having a white spot or blaze' — think of a bald head shining white. The PIE root '*bhel-' 'to shine' is behind it. Baldish means somewhat bald, with the suffix -ish from Old English '-isc' 'pertaining to'. So baldish is 'bald-ish', a bit bald.
