Morphology

queenlike = queen (transparent) = queen + like

The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive suffix '-like' to 'queen', meaning 'resembling or characteristic of a queen'.

Etymology

The word queenlike comes from an old English word cwen, meaning 'woman' or 'wife', which became our word queen. The ending -like means 'similar to', as in 'childlike', so queenlike describes someone who looks or acts like a queen.
