beamlike

/bˈimlaɪk/ adj

Having the form of a beam

Word Origin Beamlike comes from beam, which started as Old English 'bēam' 'tree' — so a beam was originally a living trunk. Then it became a wooden support, and then a ray of light (you can almost see the tree-like shaft). Beamlike means resembling that straight, radiant line. The same root gives us boom (a tree trunk used as a barrier).
