craterlike

/kɹˈeɪɾɚlˌaɪk/ adj

Resembling or characteristic of a crater.

Word Origin 'Crater' comes from Greek 'krater', a large bowl for mixing wine and water. So 'craterlike' means shaped like that bowl — a depression. The same root gives us 'cratered', 'craterous', and even 'craterlet' (a small crater). The '-like' suffix from Old English 'lic' (body) makes it 'having the body of a crater'.
