Morphology

soulish = soul (transparent) = soul + ish

Direct adjectival formation from 'soul' with the productive suffix '-ish' yielding 'relating to the soul', which learners can readily infer from known components.

Etymology

Soulish is built from soul ('inner self') and -ish ('like' or 'related to'), so it simply means 'of the soul'. That's why we call music or art 'soulish' when it feels deep, emotional, or full of inner life.
