brasslike

/bɹˈæslaɪk/ adj

Resembling or characteristic of the metal brass.

Word Origin Brasslike is brass plus like — having the form or appearance of brass. Brass comes from Old English bræs, and like traces back to Proto-Germanic *līk- 'body, form,' so it's literally 'brass-bodied.' The same like gives us likeness and alike. So something brasslike has that golden shine but isn't necessarily the metal itself.

adj Resembling or characteristic of the metal brass.

The antique doorknob had a beautiful brasslike appearance.
