Morphology

honeylike = honey (transparent) = honey + like

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-like' added to the noun 'honey', meaning 'resembling honey'.

Etymology

Honeylike comes from the everyday word honey and the ending -like, which means 'similar to'. So, something described as honeylike has the sweet, golden, smooth quality of honey and therefore looks, feels, or tastes like honey.
