Morphology

taillike = tail (transparent) = tail + like

The adjective is formed by the productive suffix '-like' meaning 'resembling', so the meaning is directly derivable from 'tail'.

Etymology

Taillike comes from the simple word tail, the back part of an animal, plus the ending -like, which means 'similar to' or 'like'. So taillike means 'resembling or having the characteristics of a tail'.
