moonlike

/ˈmunˌɫaɪk/ adj

Resembling the Moon, or a moon

Word Origin Moonlike is a simple compound: moon + like, meaning 'resembling the moon.' The moon word goes back to Proto-Germanic mēnô, and like comes from a root meaning 'body, form' — so it's literally 'having the form of the moon.' Related words: moonlit, moonshine, and the surprising cognate lich (a corpse, from the same 'body' root).
