beaklike

/ˈbiˌkɫaɪk/ adj

Resembling a beak.

Word Origin Beaklike combines beak (from Proto-Germanic bakkjaz 'projecting point,' related to back) and like (from a root meaning 'body, form'). So beaklike means having the form of a projecting point, like a bird's beak. The root *bak- also gives us back and bacon (originally 'back meat').
