netlike

/ˈnɛtˌɫaɪk/ adj

Resembling or characteristic of a net, especially in having many small openings.

Word Origin From Old English nett 'net, mesh' and like 'having the form of' — so netlike is literally 'net-like.' The suffix -like comes from Old English līc 'body, form,' which also gives us such as (swa līc) and -ly. The root nett is from PIE *ned- 'to twist, knot,' so a net is something knotted. Netlike describes anything resembling a mesh.

adj Resembling or characteristic of a net, especially in having many small openings.
