bottlelike

/bˈɑɾəllˌaɪk/ adj

Resembling or characteristic of a bottle.

Word Origin 'Bottle' comes from Latin 'buttis' (cask), while 'like' comes from Proto-Germanic 'līkam' meaning 'body, form'—so bottlelike literally means 'having the form of a bottle'. The suffix -like is a handy way to create adjectives: childlike, lifelike. The same root for 'like' also gives us likeness, likely, and alike.
