bricklike positive

Morphology

bricklike = brick (semi-transparent) = brick + like

The form is clearly brick + -like, but this sense indicates material/composition ('made of bricks') rather than the usual 'resembling', which may mislead learners.

Etymology

Bricklike comes from the common word brick, which means 'a hard, baked block used for building', and the ending -like, which means 'similar to'. So in this sense bricklike means actually made from bricks or brick material, giving a strong, sturdy appearance.
