hooplike

/hˈuplaɪk/ adj

Resembling a hoop.

Word Origin 'Hoop' from Old English 'hōp', a circular band. 'Hooplike' means ring-shaped. The same root gives us 'hooped', 'hooper', and even 'hula hoop'. The '-like' from 'līc' (body) makes it 'having the body of a hoop'. Related words: 'childlike', 'lifelike', 'birdlike' all use the same suffix.
