Morphology

summerlike = summer (transparent) = summer + like

Formed from the noun 'summer' plus the productive suffix '-like' meaning 'resembling', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word summerlike is made from summer and the common ending -like, which means 'similar to'. So something described as summerlike has the warm, bright, or relaxed qualities 'like' summer.
