Surface Forms

doggish positive

Morphology

doggish = dog (semi-transparent) = dog + ish

The form is transparently 'dog' + '-ish', but the lecherous/sexual sense relies on a metaphorical cultural extension of 'dog', making it less directly inferable.

Etymology

Doggish comes from dog plus the ending -ish, which means 'like'. In English, 'dog' can be used for a man who is rude or too eager for sex, so doggish can mean showing strong sexual desire in a way people find rude.
