Morphology

vampirish = vampire (semi-transparent) = vampire + ish

Meaning here often relies on cultural/metaphorical extension (femme fatale / predatory seductress) rather than only the literal creature sense, so inference requires extra cultural knowledge.

Etymology

Vampirish comes from vampire, the story creature that 'drinks blood', and the ending -ish which means 'like', as in childish. So vampirish can mean 'dangerously attractive' — someone who charms others but then leaves them feeling drained.
