Etymology
Bricklike comes from the common word brick ('a hard, baked block') and the ending -like ('similar to'). A helpful way to remember this meaning is to think of something heavy, square, or rough that looks or feels like a brick, so bricklike describes shape, texture, or weight rather than being real brick.
