Morphology

disklike = disk (transparent) = disk + like

Formed by the productive suffix '-like' attached to the noun 'disk', meaning 'having the form or appearance of a disk', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word disklike breaks into disk and -like, where disk means 'a flat, round shape', like a coin or a CD, and -like means 'similar to'. So, disklike means 'similar to a disk' or 'having the shape of a flat, round disk'.
