bulblike

/bˈʌlblaɪk/ adj

Resembling a bulb.

Word Origin Bulb comes from Latin 'bulbus' (bulb, onion, swollen root). Add the Old English suffix '-like' (from 'līc' — body, form) and you get bulblike: resembling a bulb. The root 'bulbus' gives us 'bulbous' and 'bulblet,' and the PIE root *bhel- 'to swell' captures the shape.
