Morphology

sunlike = sun (transparent) = sun + like

Formed by the noun 'sun' plus the productive adjective-forming suffix '-like' meaning 'resembling' or 'having qualities of', which is clear to learners.

Etymology

Sunlike comes from the simple parts sun ('the bright star that gives light and warmth') and -like ('similar to'), so to be sunlike is to be 'like the sun' — warm, bright, and cheerful, often used for people or smiles that make others feel better.
